“frankly, paying your own postage (sometimes at 2oz rate) was a vestige of a poll tax. “

3 voters in my household.

We could mail in all of the applications for absentee in a single envelope (one stamp).

Each ballot required a separate envelope and stamp (three stamps).

At $0.55/stamp that’s $2.20 per election; primary & general $4.40/year.

Yeah, less than two gallons of gas but its the principle.
