No postage needed in California, nor Massachusetts if I recall correctly. Does your state really make you find a stamp to vote in 2024? That sucks, sorry to hear that.
The government should pass a law that it’s required to vote, or give a reasonable explanation why you can’t.
Employers are punished for keeping their employees from voting.
Hi, it’s me, Australia, you might remember me from such democratic innovations as the secret ballot and mandatory voting, America will never have mandatory voting because it works about as well as gun control, single payer health care, and the metric system.
Also many places have mandatory voting but very few enforce it, I would put money on America being one of those places if it somehow got a foothold.
It reminds me of a time I got arrested for giving a nice old lady a bottle of water while she was waiting in line to vote in Georgia and it became a big deal. I got charged, convicted and sentenced to prison time but luckily my friend Jerry Seinfeld springs Larry out of jail after he discovers a juror broke his sequester, causing a mistrial and the sentence being thrown out.
The government should partner with McDonald’s and offer a free double cheeseburger with proof of voting.
Election Day should be a national holiday to give folks a chance to vote.
Pay for postage for mail-in voters.

I have to ship it internationally
I mean, at least put it on the weekend, like other countries (or at least mine).
Allow early in-person voting centres and postal votes. Make it convenient.
Though, maybe these are only widespread in mandatory voting counties (like mine), because you’d get massive complaints if it wasn’t convenient.
Turnout is unsurprisingly, very high here.
Who would run the polling stations and run public transit?
You don’t have public transit on national holidays and Sundays? Next you are going to ask who is going to work in hospitals and restaurants
Those deemed necessary could be given a day off to early vote.

Its actually illegal to do this. Yes, that’s stupid.
It should be whiskey like the founders intended
That is.

How about a $200 tax receipt from the government itself?
Didn’t Krispy Kreme offer a free donut to anyone with an I voted sticker at one point?
If they gave out monopoly pieces and gave away $1m they would have the entire working poor who don’t vote participate.
