No. We are a democracy and not a totalitarian government and in a democracy people have choices. They can vote, not vote, write in names. Even though 42% of the eligible voters didn't vote in this last election that is their choice, but at the same time by not voting they also give up the right to complain about the result. In order for a democracy to work the citizens need to be involved.

Should the US make voting mandatory for citizens?
ENCOURING CITIZENS TO VOTE! I encourage all American citizens who are above 18 years to vote. This is great opportunity to represent someone who is right for our government and he/she can present our opinions.

It's our right and our duty as Americans citizens to alteast vote for people didn't have this opportunity years back.

Opponents of compulsory voting in the U.S. argue that it infringes on individual freedom and the right to choose whether to participate in the democratic process. They also contend that mandatory voting could lead to uninformed or disinterested voters casting ballots, which may undermine the quality of electoral outcomes. Additionally, logistical challenges, such as enforcement and the need for increased voter education, are cited as potential barriers to implementing such a system effectively.

Do all US territories have states have voting members in congress?
I think this is actually 2 questions. Every one of the US states have voting members in Congress. Usually each state has 2 Senators and a number of Representatives (based on the population of the state.) However, US territories are not states and do not have voting members in either the Senate or House of Representatives.
