Australia has mandatory voting. Why not the US?

Because mandatory anything is spun as an attack on our freedoms, and our generally-undereducated masses eat it up.

You still have the freedom to not vote. However you have to go to a polling station and get your name marked off but no-one can force you to write on the piece of paper.

Or there is option of making ballot invalid
