Should voting be mandatory in the United States?

I use a wheelchair and I have voted in every election since 2008, and I can tell you the system is built for people who can drive, stand in line, and take time off. Mandatory voting would flip that overnight. The moment the government is legally on the hook for every eligible voter instead of just the motivated ones, accessible polling places, mail ballots, and real curbside voting stop being favors and start being requirements. The EAC already sets accessibility guidelines that plenty of jurisdictions treat as suggestions. Nobody builds infrastructure for optional voters. Everybody builds it for a legal mandate.
