 YOU ARE GOING TO VOTE — OR ELSE!

Why don’t more people show up to vote on Election Day?  In elections all over America, fewer voters are turning out at the polls than ever before. The New York Times ran an op-ed piece last week decrying this national trend, and suggesting that voting be mandatory, just like jury duty. So how big is the problem, and how important is it to force citizens to vote?  I write about it in this week’s column now posted.  You can read it by going to the flashing blue box above, or by Clicking Here.
