Mandatory voting

If participation dropped so far as to significantly undermine the claim of government to rest on popular will I would favor mandatory voting, if it allowed casting ballots only partially filled out, or even not at all.

Are we already there?

Maybe, thanks only in part to the efforts of one party to discourage and diminish participation on a scale big enough to matter.

Guess which party would rather see blood run in the streets than see a smoothly functioning system of mandatory voting and overwhelming participation.
