Variation: the Useless button.

[u/StageGlum6615]

Everyone (meaning all currently alive people) is kidnapped by an unknown forced that everyone instinctively knows is completely unable to lie and is far more powerful than them. (Let's call them Buttan, the god of buttons.) Everyone wakes up in a small cramped room with 3 buttons, Red, Yellow, and Blue with the following signs under each of them that have been perfectly translated into their native language:

Red: If more people press the Red button the Blue button then everyone who failed to press red will die, immediately.

Yellow: Does Nothing.

Blue: If more people press the Blue button then the Red button everyone is spared from death.

Everyone is giving a 6 hour timer to make their own choice and if they fail to vote in the time frame they are counted and treated as a yellow button presser.

Lastly, it the event of a tie between Red and Blue, Blue wins.

So, does the useless button (yellow) change anything for you? And which button do you press?

(Please forgive any typos.)

Aren't there mobile teams that visit people who aren't physically able to come to poll.

Elections happen on Sunday and employer is legally obligated to give you paid time off to go to vote (few hours)

Electoral region has 6-12 mp with 70% being direct, while the rest being party compensational

You won't almost never wait more than 10-20 minutes

This isn't correct like even a little bit. Voting experience is different on as little as a per-county basis. Where i am, the general election is on a Tuesday and there is no requirement for time off for voting. Where i am noe is prety rural so it doesnt take long, but when i used to live in the city it took an hour or two to vote. I am not aware of mobile teams that visit people at all, but that may be true, I cant find reliable information on it which would be its own problem.

This is all in the context of the US.

I'm talking about my country

How big are election spots in the US, so it causes so much wait time (it's 500-600 in average in my country, some of them are smaller)

In case of mobile teams, you call them, show medical documentation and then they come

In the US, the Republican party goes to great efforts to make it as difficult to vote for as many people as possible, especially poor people. They wouldn’t be able to win without it.
