Tournament: Greenhill | Round: 3 | Opponent: Strake Jesuit AT | Judge: Kristopher Wright
My position will demonstrate two independent reasons to negate the resolution:
A. Compulsory voting does not exist. Sarah Birch is a Professor of Comparative Politics at Glasgow University http://i.unu.edu/media/unu.edu/publication/2224/full_participation_webk.pdf “Full Participation a Comparative Study of Compulsory Voting”  United Nations University 2009
Compulsory voting can … be used interchangeably.
The aff must prove that compulsory voting exists.
B. Voting is both unjust and undemocratic. Marlinspike and Hart (Moxie Marlinspike and Windy Hart are famous anarchists.   http://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/moxie-marlinspike-and-windy-hart-audio-anarchy-radio-an-anarchist-critique-of-democracy “The Anarchist Critique of Democracy” 2005)  
We reproduce democracy … it especially sneaky.
Thus, voting is fundamentally undemocratic and unjust. 

The aff, therefore, has the burden to defend the legitimacy of voting.

V- Just Democratic System
Religious tolerance is a necessary tenant of a just democracy. Portier 2011 writes, Philippe Portier is director of the religion and secularism group at the Centre National de la Recheche Scientifique,“Religion and Democracy in the Thoughts of Jurgen Habermas” Pgs 428-429 http://www.slideshare.net/alberto22222/religion-and-democracy-in-the-thought-of-jrgen-habermas-9624128)
“In light of the contemporary crisis… not as its basis.”

AND, societal homogenization is unworkable in modern day democracies.  Portier-2 explains, Philippe Portier is director of the religion and secularism group at the Centre National de la Recheche Scientifique,“Religion and Democracy in the Thoughts of Jurgen Habermas” Pgs 430 http://www.slideshare.net/alberto22222/religion-and-democracy-in-the-thought-of-jrgen-habermas-9624128)

“Habermas has argued against… autonomy of the individual.”

Standard is Resisting Coercive Government Policies that are Intolerant of Religious Beliefs.

Regardless of the type of government, religious intolerance is something that “ought” to be avoided. Kandil and Nussbaum 2012 elaborate, Caitlin Yoshiko Kandil: write for Moment Magazine; Nussbaum is a professor at the University of Chicago. “The New Religious Intolerance: An Interview with Marth Nussbaum”, 2012, http://www.momentmag.com/the-new-religious-intolerance-an-interview-with-martha-nussbaum/)

“From Switzerland’s ban… stay vigilant.”

Contention is that compulsory voting is a coercive government policy that is intolerant of various religions.
Yarbrough 2012 explains,
“The fact of the matter… real world problems.”

Leibenluft in 2008 furthers, Jacob Leibenluft is a writer from Washington D.C., “Why Don’t Jehovah Witnesses Vote?: Because They’re Representatives of God’s Heavenly Kingdom”, 2008,  http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/explainer/2008/06/why_dont_jehovahs_witnesses_vote.html

“Serena Williams told reporters… distributed across the country.”

Even if the affirmative wins that voting generally ought to be compulsory, the negative position demonstrates that voting ought not be compulsory for those groups with religious objections.
