If you want total security, go to prison. There you're fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking... is freedom.

They had mandatory voting in Saddam's Iraq. They have mandatory voting in Russia, and in Venezuela. Zero is just following the lead of his role models. What do you get when you combine "mandatory voting" with universal surveillance cameras? You get a notice from the IRS, ATF or some other jackbooted thug because of how you voted.

How can you enforce mandatory voting without ID? Isn't asking someone for ID racist?

Let's take your analysis a step further. If you have mandatory voting, you have the perfect device to stuff the ballot boxes; thereby just "voting" for the people (after all, you know better than them what's "best" for them, right?). If everybody must vote, then there will be no registration and no way to check or control voter fraud (or, in the alternative, the new mandatory voting law will result in the total federal control of voting in this country). That's the way it was/is done in Saddam's Iraq, Russia, and Venezuela, and I submit that's exactly what the Obamunists are angling for. They don't just want socialism; they want totalitarianism.

Socialists are cowardly totalitarians who are afraid to face up to the truth about what their ideology really means.
