one of the most important privileges we get as being Americans. I have a possible solution to getting at least a 85% voter turnout‚ although I highly doubt that this would ever happen‚ because it is quite a stretch.

From what I heard people hate taxes so maybe from this suggestion‚ taxing the non-voters‚ there will be more reason to go out and vote. Or the politicians can do the opposite--give a tax break to those who

Non-voters are often generalized as lazy or selfish‚ but it viable that it is in their own self-interest not to vote. Forcing someone to betray their own self-interest it strictly undemocratic.
