He's really just echoing Thomas Jefferson here. Of course, he's also miming Lenin and a variety of political movements throughout history.

I don't really like the idea of compulsory voting. Not voting is as much of a form of protest as voting. I live in California, where our major ticket was the governor's seat, and both parties gave us crappy candidates. People should not be required to vote in situations like that - or ever, really. Fitting the polling place into a busy schedule can be rather difficult.

I like the food idea though.
