Under a new California bill, voting would be compulsory and registered voters who don’t cast a ballot could be subject to fines or even jail time.
AB2070 was introduced by California Democrat Marc Levine, who is a representative of the North San Francisco Bay Area, on Tuesday.
Thank you @SFGate @akoseff for highlighting my #AB2070 & efforts to ensure that the voice of all voters are heard at the ballot box.

The bill would require anyone who is at least 18 years of age and qualified to vote by the next election to cast a ballot. The Secretary of State would decide how to enforce the law, and the San Francisco Chronicle reports that voting would be similar to jury duty, where fines or incarceration would be penalties for neglecting to fulfill the obligation.
“This bill would instead require a person who qualifies and is registered to vote to cast a ballot, marked or unmarked in whole or in part, at every election held within the territory within which the person resides and the election is held. The bill would require the Secretary of State to enforce this requirement,” the bill reads.

Liberal insanity. “Do as we say, or else” is a 100% Communist stance.
Awwww, you promised that I would be “SHOCKED” (hint- I’m not).
Voting is not an obligation. It is the right to vote or not to vote.
CA insanity continues on. I have no sympathy for any of them. They deserve all the pain they get.
OK, who are the dictators? It’s pretty f****ng clear to me.
Can they get any more communist? What’s next? Firing squad, hanging, beheading, or “EDUCATION CAMPS”?
These people are not just insane, they are a category unto themselves.
I can’t wait to see the California a-hole government enforce this asinine future law.
Insane laws made by insane leadership. The uneducated and ignorant majority of the population in CA are nothing but puppets who will end up just like cattle who are housed and fed until . . .
I suppose putting the half of the population who do not vote in jail would solve the homeless problem. Only in a crap hole like kalifornicate.
So let me get this straight, If I’m an illegal and not supposed to vote in the first place, and I don’t, then I am again in violation of a CA Law? What happens if I vote for a republican? Do I get deported?
Sounds like California has gone FULL COMMUNIST…..
Let’s see —
1) Give Drivers Licenses to ILLEGAL aliens
2) “Motor Voter” automatically registers Drivers License applicants to vote
3) Penalize anyone registered who doesn’t vote.
Talk about “FOREIGN INTERFERENCE” in our elections.
The definition of a DemoRat is….I’m going to CONTROL EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE whether you live it or not. You are not FREE…GET OVER IT, COMRADES!
Geesh, if this representative wants to live and vote as Russians/Chinese do, move to Russia/China. Once there, you won’t have to decide who to vote for; the gov’t will tell you.
