Oct 21, 2020 at 11:26 comment added curiousdannii @AdamBarnes Several countries have compulsory voting. Only a few voters actually make protest or invalid votes, and they're hardly a waste of time, just a small fraction of all the votes to be counted.
Oct 21, 2020 at 6:50 comment added Luaan @gen-ℤreadytoperish It's brilliant that there's even "red" and "blue" states. What a wonderful way to get the opposing party's supporters to stay home :D
Oct 21, 2020 at 3:15 comment added Adam Barnes "the more people vote, the better the system works" not necessarily - forcing the uninformed or disenfranchised to vote could lead to more protest votes which are a waste of time at best.
Oct 20, 2020 at 16:26 comment added gen-ℤ ready to perish I can come firm the cynical one living in Texas in 2020. I see these ads and they’re always geared towards minorities, who tend to poll Democrat and tend to not vote as much in a red state.
