My sister lives in rural Yolo County.  She has lived
there for 30 years and always votes.  For the first
time ever, her precinct has become a mandatory
all-mail precinct.  Everyone in her precinct will get
a genuine ballot (not just a sample ballot) in the
mail automatically.

This is not true of other nearby rural precincts in
Yolo County.  She has friends and neighbors in other
precincts, so she knows.

My sister says, if treating all voters alike is so
important, how is it possible that some voters have
the luxury of getting a ballot in the mail (without
lifting a finger to request an absentee), whereas
other voters in neighboring precincts don't have this
treatment.  My sister feels turnout will be higher in
her precinct, since the ballot comes automatically and
the county pays the return postage.
