So, if you were in this "deliberative assembly", what would you suggest? Imprisonment, a fine? Could a person be excused if they were alive but incapacitated? What if I got into a car accident on the way to the polling station and was hospitalized? Would I be excused from paying the fine provided a brought a doctor's certificate to a justice of the peace?
Do you see the kind of bureaucratic machine that would be required to meaningfully support this enterprise?
