Personally I am in favour of mandatory voting, with the caveat that the bottom of the ballot should have a "none of the above" option.

If the difference was only 20% and the result of an election wasn't determined by a metaphorical a coin flip, I would agree.

With the way it is right now, doubling the voting pool using uneducated or apathetic voters turns the entire thing into a game of exploiting psychological biases into creating uninformed votes. That also happens to already be the GOP's specialty.

It's bad now, but that could make it even worse.
