Australia has mandatory voting. Why not the US?

Just wondering, how is mandatory voting enforced? I assume vote cops don't show up at your door.... What if you turn in a ballot with no choice marked?

Not sure how it is there, but in a few areas you basically lose your right to vote of you don't. Which is fair motivation.
