Contention 1: Compulsory voting encourages statism

First, compulsory voting makes individuals collectively responsible for state violence. This makes them identify with the state and makes resistance more difficult. Smith:
George H. Smith  The Ethics of Voting - Part I http://voluntaryist.com/articles/001a.html#.Uh-6ZxvFXvZ
Libertarians generally agree that the … . Thus do kamikaze arguments "succeed".

Second, compulsory voting makes the state seem more legitimate because more people participate. Even if no one actually votes the state gains more credibility. Opposition to compulsory voting is a crucial site of resistance. Martin:

Opponents of the state are … of campaigns against state power. 

Contention 2: Statism outweighs and turns the case

First, I turn the affirmatives framework- statism makes articulation of an objective moral code impossible. Mayer:

Fourth, Statism causes extinction. Beres:

The State presents itself as … through the killing of "outsiders."}

Contention 3: 

The role of the ballot should be to reduce individual contributions to statism- the affirmatives defense of compulsion lends legitimacy to the states monopoly on violence. Voting negative is an act of micropolitical resistance that recognizes there is no state, we already live in anarchy. O’Connor:
