If voters could pay for the service would you?

What I meant is that voters should never have to pay to vote. Personally, I'm fine with my mail in ballot. However, a sanctioned app that I could vote on in addition to being able to better research the things I'm voting on would be something I'd likely use.

Why not? Why isn't it a good idea to ask that folks have "skin in the game" via a poll tax if they want to participate in the political process?
