Since moving to Washington, I've discovered just how easy voting can be, and how we can drive voter participation (oh, if only that's what everyone wanted). I always voted when I needed to in person in other states, but now ballots just show up in my mailbox without me even knowing there was an election; it makes having 3-4 elections every year a complete non-issue since all it involves is finding a pen, and making the trek back to my mailbox to drop it off.

I buy that it's rife for abuse in many countries, but the US has such a well-protected (legally-speaking) postal service that it's probably the best country of any I know to do mail-in voting.
