What would you consider to be “enough” friction? Equating voting to commenting on Internet forums is a bit disingenuous IMO. I mean, if you had to register at your local government internet commenter office at least a few days or even months before commenting, then show up on a given day to comment long hand in person after waiting in line, perhaps you would have a point. My point is that we already have significant friction built into the process of voting. I think a more interesting thought experiment is around compulsory voting. Making the incentives work the other way- where you’re expected to participate in the process. I wonder if people would take it more seriously if you had penalties for not participating?
