What if? It's the basis of many stories. We ask. We ponder. We wonder.
On Tuesdays I throw one out there. What if? It may be speculative. It may stem from something I see. It may be something I pull from the news.
Make of it what you will. If a for instance is not specified, interpret that instance as you wish. And if the idea turns into a story, I'd appreciate a thank you in the acknowledgements 😉
I have heard that there are countries where everyone is required to vote. Considering how low voter turnout can be in the U.S., I wondered a few things. (Although, my brain made a weird turn, and I thought about how that would affect voter suppression.) Anyway...
What if voting was required of every U.S. citizen over the age of 18?
Hmmm, I like the idea. However I fear what those votes would be, if you don't care enough to do it in the first place. Would it just be random selections?

ReplyDeleteI think it is a good idea. When I was living in Italy it was like that. I’m not sure if things have changed now…
