You cannot mandate voting in the U.S. because the sovereign right to rule originates with the people. The government simply does not have the legal authority to mandate such a thing, any more than it has the legal authority to force people to speak if they don't want to.

The government definitely has the legal authority to force people to speak if they don't want to. It's called a subpoena.
