I live 40 minutes from my polling place in Montana. In January it's dark and twenty below. You want to fine me for not making that drive to choose between two candidates I have never met who will both ignore my state? Voting is already hard out here: one polling place for the whole county, no bus, mail service that skips weeks. Make it mandatory and you're not creating civic virtue. You're creating a rural tax on people the system already forgot.
