Three unmentioned problems with mandatory voting:
1) General incompetence at polling places (they're frequently elderly volunteers). Anecdote I worked at a polling place in high school and never got paid for it because the paperwork was lost. What happens when people show up and still get fined?
2) Should Joe Green be able to take off from his job at a fast food register because he neglected to vote in the morning? Will he be able to fund legal action if his manager fires him for doing so?
3) What if Allison Green is disabled and has no method of transportation or means of voting? What if her mail in ballot is lost or never sent?
