No. Brazil has mandatory voting, and from what I hear from the news and from actual Brazilians, it dosen't help the political culture one bit. And I highly doubt that the US's political culture is so much superior (especially these days) that mandatory voting will work better here.

Better to change the context of how voting occurs (making voting easier, moving Election Day to a weekend/making it a holiday, automatic voter registration) than to enforce a requirement.
