“Obama floated the idea of mandatory voting in the U.S. while speaking to a civic group in Cleveland on Wednesday. Asked about the influence of money in U.S. elections, Obama digressed into the topic of voting rights and said the U.S. should be making it easier for people to vote.

Just ask Australia, where citizens have no choice but to vote, the president said.

‘If everybody voted, then it would completely change the political map in this country,’ Obama said, calling it ‘potentially transformative.’ Not only that, Obama said, but universal voting would ‘counteract money more than anything.'”
