First, I feel, everyone should be compelled to vote and the voter restriction laws are all unconstitutional.

But that isn't going to be fixed by November, so shut up, learn what it will take to vote in you state and play by the rules and VOTE!

No excuses. Then get off your but, become a voting rights activist and work to get the laws changed. They don't change with you sitting on your couch.
