We Should All Vote by Mail Because I Love Cauliflower Soup
Jessica Levinson - Huffington Post:
"In California, while the Legislature has yet to agree to call a special election in June, Governor Jerry Brown has already floated the idea that were that election to happen, everyone should vote by mail. This would be California's first mail-only election. In support of his proposal Brown has said that 'It's cheaper, easier for people and half the electorate is now used to that.'
While there will be a period of transition, it is hard to argue with a proposal that saves both money (estimates show that it could save counties in California millions) and time. Not to trivialize, but would a counter argument go something like, 'no, I want my state to spend more public funds, and I want to decrease the chance that more people will vote'?"
