	abstract = {CLOSE OBSERVERS of America know that the rules of its democracy often favour Republicans. But the party{\textquoteright}s biggest advantage may be one that is rarely discussed: turnout is just 60\%, low for a rich country. Polls show that non-voters{\textemdash}both people uninterested in voting and those blocked by legal or economic hurdles{\textemdash}mainly belong to groups that tend to back Democrats.What would change if America became the 22nd country to make voting mandatory? To estimate non-voters{\textquoteright} views, The Economist used the Co-operative Congressional Election Study (CCES), a 64,600-person poll led by Harvard University. The survey includes demographic data such as race and age, as well as participants{\textquoteright} recollections of whom they voted for and verified records of whether they voted. In general, voters and non-voters from similar backgrounds had similar opinions. Using a method called {\textquotedblleft}multilevel regression and post-stratification{\textquotedblright}, the relationships between demography and vote choices can be used to project state-level election results{\textemdash}and to estimate what might have happened in the past under different rules.\&nbsp;},
