Welcome to an HBO podcast from the HBO late-night series Real Time with Bill Maugh.

Okay, we are back on the internet. What is the panel think of Obama's musings this week about mandatory voting?

You have a lot of uninformed people voting.

We do now. Yeah. You'll multiply that number.

Yeah, well I don't know about that because I don't think unless they, you know, you...

Are they going to come and do it with rest of you? Fine.

It'd be a fine. And Australia, they do this mandatory voting.

That's what they do. They will apply this.

We do want to have 35 or 40% of the electric voting that really did know something as opposed to 100% just going in and stamping whatever.

I mean, I think we have to do something. I don't think it's kind of un-American act of mandatory voting.

But we have to do something. We have to make voter registration easier.

We probably should think about moving elections to the weekends when people aren't going to work.

Well, of course, I think this is consent.

Of course, the problem with that is that one party, I'm not going to say which one does not want more people.

Which one, the next one.

I think one party, they should have a name.

Oh, Bill.

I'm really telling you that should be Republican party.

We want the same thing the Democrats want, which is more of our people to vote in less of yours.

That's what both parties want.

But I think part of being American is exercising freedom not to vote.

And the libertarian in me says, you know what, if I don't want to vote, that's voting in itself.
