    Here’s the thing, if you reduce the amount of people who will vote, it increases the cost of a singe vote and by extension incentivises falsifications by the ruling party.

    Being able to vote isn’t a privelege to cherish it, it’s a right.

    When it comes to such things, always remember how they can be abused, because they likely will be.

    This is how informational autocracies do it. The deincentivise participation and use state employees to vote for people who didn’t participate. This is how it works in Russia, Belarus, and many more other countries.
