They'll canvas like mad, don't get me wrong, been getting that crap through my letterbox as well. What's really interesting though is how that go vote propaganda has really fallen off a cliff and it's almost certainly because even the elites have realised a good chunk of the non-voters are going to be making up the people who vote the other way. I don't know how it is in America, but it's been interesting seeing the stats finally coming in with the vote turn out being higher than ever and all of a sudden Le Pen is in the lead lulz.
It used to be something of a fixture in western democracies back in the day with politicians sometimes even floating the idea of mandatory voting like in Australia which is cancer.
I like the idea of mandatory voting, even with fines and jail time, so long as there is a: "Abstain" or "Abstain all elections for X years" option on every ballot.
"Abstain" would be putting in a blank ballot, or better to prevent shenanigans, one with marks on all spots. Votes are still, for now, done in secret, they can only confirm you went up to a podium, and put in a paper.
Right, that's called "spoiling your ballot". I'm just saying there should be an officially recognized version of that, rather than act of civil disobedience.
