    That sounds a little complicated as well, so it seems that might be a barrier to entry as well.

    I can also imagine that people who have to work extra to make ends meet might not have the luxury of taking time off to vote?

      Exactly. Now you can vote early. But it’s an ordeal. And by mail but it’s a whole thing. And you’re exhausted and working two jobs to try to cover rent. Politics really isn’t that relevant to your life is it?

      Welcome to the heart of the empire.

        Votes by mail sound a bit risky to me as well. I know the postal service has lost packages and stuff before. Are there special envelopes? Special ways to tell that the vote hasn’t been lost or “lost”?

        Also, is it at least free? Postage already paid for?
