    I disagree that we need to cater to the laziest people in the country to get their vote. Voting is already very easy, especially in states with a mail-in ballot. If you can’t even be bothered to open a letter, fill in a couple of bubbles, sign your name, and drop an envelope in your mailbox, then idk that we actually want your opinion on who should run the country.

    By “you” I just mean anyone, not actually you.

      Disabled people exist so it wouldn’t just be “catering to lazy people.” And like you pointed out, not all states have mail in ballots. An online option would be good for people who literally can’t stand in line for hours.

        As someone who works in IT, an online option is a terrible idea for a number of reasons. Instead, every registered voter should get a mail in ballot automatically sent, and if you prefer to vote in person you can do that instead.

          I like your idea better. It makes waaay more sense and more people would probably vote that way honestly
