    In all honesty, what if there was a refundable tax credit for voting or something similar. Wouldn’t even have to be a lot. If you voted, claim $20 or something.

    We’d still have a lot of non voters but I bet some would be swayed by being rewarded for voting

      And when those non-voters leave the presidential ticket blank what then? you’re focusing on the wrong part; getting people to show up isnt the issue. they’ll show up if your candidates are not ass and you have a good ground game.

        If they leave it blank, then so be it. Maybe they’ll vote quickly on something else on the ballot. Either way, they would be present and more likely to vote. I don’t really care if it’s dem or rep or abstain. Abstain is a valid choice, but I would prefer it to be clear that that’s what they’re choosing.

          shrug can’t help you there. I mean they literally fucking told everyone what was going to happen. And the dnc/harris decided to hold the course instead of you know, including them.
