The Democrats because they hold more low propensity voters. However even under mandatory voting there can be (and in lots of countries there is) rampant abstention. Low propensity voters are disinterested in politics, lots of them have less incentives and more barriers to get out and vote. Plus some times the fine is so ridiculously low people just pay it anyway. Even the poorest, which are the ones with the highest abstention rate.
