It would be the surest way to protect against voter suppression and the active disenfranchisement of a large share of our citizens. And it would create a system true to the Declaration of Independence's aspirations by calling for a government based on the consent of all the governed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt's not as radical or utopian as it sounds: in Australia, where everyone is required to vote (Australians can vote \"none of the above,\" but they have to show up), 91.9 percent of Australians voted in the last major election in 2019, versus 60.1 percent in America's 2016 presidential race.
