13NFL1-Compulsory Voting Page 36 of 163 www.victorybriefs.com voting. Negatives could easily win that in a democracy the people’s will should prevail, thus if the people vote to have no compulsory voting then the government would be obligated not to use it, and therefore the resolution itself establishes a semantic trap of logic i.e. because you cannot affirm the statement in all cases without contradicting the statement when the people reject the claim you must negate. But, I wonder how many traditional or conservative judges will find this line of argument persuasive. In short, I think that the norm will be to embrace a more traditional negative strategy and construct a full case position for why there is not a duty rather than to try to reject democracies or establish some sort of truth testing burden.
