    How is it better if someone just goes and circles a random name on the list because its mandatory?

    Statistically, if a large population being “forced” to vote were voting names randomly on ballots that had their own order randomly assigned, then their votes would be evenly distributed and not end up affecting the results.

      Not necessarily true, I think most of those votes would go to the most popular populist candidate or the one with a better PR team, it wouldn’t be truly random distribution.
