I just did a command-f on the article, and it doesn't mention mail at all, so it probably doesn't do a CBA against promotion of mail-in. In any case, I really don't see why this is such an important cause to prioritize: 1) Are there really good policies that are being held up by the voters that don't vote because of the inconvenience? 2) How does that compare with other uses of political capital (alternatives to FPTP, transit, anti-NIMBY policies, tax shifts, etc)? 3) What is the impact of low turnout vs electoral shenanigans in miscounting? Why not focus on having a more auditable system? This article starts from the premise of "the most important thing to do is increase turnout, regardless of the costs [like those associated with a new holiday], and regardless of whether that improves policy". Sorry, I don't share that premise, and neither should anyone else. |
