[EL] Postage Question

[Gaddie, Ronald K.]

Understood. Does the ability to drop at any polling place in a state hold across all states?

because the voter is free to drop it off at any polling place or voting center on election day.  The postage is not a requirement for returning the voted ballot.

Query: A former student, who is a lawyer and a Ph.D. candidate, wrote and asks "how is paying postage on an absentee ballot not a poll tax?"

Any knowledgable answers are greatly appreciated.
