One thing my wife and I noticed last night was that it would be somewhat more helpful if they had the Voter's Pamphlet coincide better with the ballot.
Pretty sure that buying stamps "costs the taxpayers," too. I haven't mailed anything since December, and I don't have any stamps. Maybe old people go to the post office all the time, but I sure as fuck don't. Luckily, I live near a library and can drop mine off.
But yes, you can always use one of the many dropoff locations (like at Pioneer Square, like I did this morning).
Would you guys be more pissed if they made you drive someplace just to stand in line all day in order to vote in a hurry where you couldn't sit down and do your homework as you voted? I'm sure you'd burn more than $0.43 in gas if you drove to the voting center.
I generally find it useful, especially for measures I'm on the fence about and for contested races that haven't received much press. There are probably ways to streamline it, though, and making it opt-out for people who don't find it useful would be a good idea.
2. Everyone who votes should get a check from the state for 10$, or the option to donate their 10$ to charity/political party.
I think you were being sarcastic but you do realize that would cost the taxpayers, right?
It should be in full color on super expensive glossy paper that the New Yorker is printed on.
Shit I just steal mine from work.
