Compulsory voting

In Australia when there is an election we have to vote whether you want to or not , once you are above 18 it is compulsory . If you dont vote you get fined . Do you think America should go down the same path . At least that way you get a proper turn out and if people don't vote then the government gets bonus money from fines . I notice that in a lot of American elections the voting numbers are so low that the majority might like one person but because so many don't bother to vote then the publics real choice doesn't get in like he or she should . I know that it might be against the constitution but is it something that should be debated ?
