> Compulsory voting is incredibly important, because it ensures that everyone is represented.

So let's assume that voting in compulsory in the US this year, and everyone actually shows up to vote. After the election, results come up:

  XX% Clinton
  YY% Trump
  Z% Johnson

The results obviously would be different if voting haven't been compulsory. That would be:

  AA% Clinton
  BB% Trump
  C% Johnson

I fail to see how this ensured that everyone is represented.

Where XX% + YY% + Z% < 60%. Everyone's view has been represented! While you might not be able to vote for "random candidate X", that's a deeper issue in the American voting system. But it doesn't invalidate that compulsory voting does ensure that everyone's view of the candidates in question is represented.
