That is a terrible idea. Not voting is a form of protest vote. It signals the fact that the platforms the candidates are running on are not popular. If everyone was forced to vote, and voted for the lesser of two evils, it would only signal preference for one party over another. That would take the incentive away from parties to realign their platforms to better align with the voters.
The current voting system is terrible, the two party system is terrible, the electoral college and gerrymandered districts are terrible. The whole thing is a shit show, we need to completely scrap it and start over.
