Why does this amaze you? Countries with extremely high voter turnouts are
invariably oppressive regimes like Soviet Russia, Iraq, or Nazi Germany.

Funny that you would lump Singapore in with those other three countries.
Strict, yes. Oppressive? I don't think so.

Maybe "invariably" doesn't mean what you think it means.

I'll bet if I knew the voter turn-out rates for every country in the world
where voting occurs, I'd be able to provide a lot more counter-examples.
