			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tomorrow, you&#8217;re going to vote.</p>
<p>Right?</p>
<p>In some countries, voting is required. Should it be required here in the U.S.?</p>
<p><span id="more-1057"></span></p>
<p>CNN asked that question:</p>
<p><object width="416" height="374" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" id="ep"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="movie" value="http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/apps/cvp/3.0/swf/cnn_416x234_embed.swf?context=embed&#038;videoId=politics/2010/10/26/am.costello.mandatory.voting.cnn" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" /><embed src="http://i.cdn.turner.com/cnn/.element/apps/cvp/3.0/swf/cnn_416x234_embed.swf?context=embed&#038;videoId=politics/2010/10/26/am.costello.mandatory.voting.cnn" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" bgcolor="#000000" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" width="416" wmode="transparent" height="374"></embed></object></p>
<p>Only 40% voted in the last midterm election? That&#8217;s pitiful.</p>
<p>As a way to increase voter turnout, should voting be mandatory? Along with jury duty, should it be a required part of citizenship?</p>
<p>Or is not voting a way of making one&#8217;s voice heard? Would mandatory voting be an infringement on freedom and expression?</p>
