If you’re in an noncompetitive state, and aren’t invested in any local elections, having a public record of not voting in this election may be more valuable than actually voting. This election, we have precedence: Cards Against Humanity is paying non-voters who are registered and “lean blue” (Registered democrat) to make a voting plan. therefore, le heckin Game Theory says you shouldn’t vote. Next, Cards of Humanity is going to offer a bounty for every dead Cobra you produce.
if you want to take advantage of this elections offer, and you vote, then they have no reason to give you an incentive next election. if you don’t vote, you’ll have shown bad faith and they also wont give you an incentive next time. but if they don’t give incentives to people who didn’t vote they last time they had an incentive, that basically makes it obvious they’re buying votes, so their rules will probably say the incentives are for new applicants only.
The amount of subterfuge, loopholes, bribery, covert operations, and various chicanery PACs have introduced into US elections is enough to make John Foster Dulles squimish.
he’d just hire some nazis about it
