I don't think that people should vote just because they feel they have a duty to do so. There is nothing wrong with being politically ignorant, there is no shame in it...but you shouldn't vote if you are! Like the "vote or die" crap..."Vote for Kerry/Edwards because Madonna says so"

So I feel, that the voter turn out should actually be less than what it is. I just think that some of the people who vote have no idea what they are doing or who they are voting for.
