Oregon's Voting method should be done nationwide!

234. Non-answer.

You fail to cite a state or different system that is proven to more effectively serve the homeless, presumably because there aren't any.

If there is not another system or state that does better, objecting to an OR or WA style system is simply not rational. That is, it is not rational if the goal is to create a system that most effectively enables homeless people to participate. And I can't imagine what other goal you would have in mind if you care about doing the best job possible to enable homeless to vote.

Furthermore, WA or OR-style voting offers more options than other systems. More ways to "vote however the fuck they want."

Many, easy, ways to obtain ballot (including outreach that delivers them to homeless). Many ways to cast ballot -- e.g., dropbox locations ("in-person' voting that is superior to election day voting because the "polling place" is open for weeks), mail, accessible voting centers.

Limiting people -- including homeless people -- to in-person voting that is only available a single day is FAR more restrictive.
