Pennsylvania Senator proposes voter stamps to boost turnout
Senate Majority Whip Henry C. Messinger of Lehigh County suggests paying Pennsylvanians to vote with voter stamps affixed to income tax returns. Each stamp, for primary or general elections, would deduct 1.25 from state taxes. He argues higher turnout reduces influence of special interests and keeps politicians responsive to the general public. The idea follows calls to curb voter apathy seen since World War II and contrasts with last year’s modest success of mail registration efforts.
