The Postal Service has informed states that they’ll need to pay first-class 55-cent postage to mail ballots to voters, rather than the normal 20-cent bulk rate. That nearly triples the per-ballot cost.https://prospect.org/coronavirus/unsanitized-federal-benefit-extension-anger-unemployment-evictions/ …

The every state can create a Go Fund Me and the people will pick up the tab. Hell, I’ll pick up $50 worth.

Exactly my thought, too. People pooling money in order to help get things done in society for the benefit of all. (It's sounding so familiar... didn't we try this before?

This is the cost to mail ballots to voters, not for voters to send them in. So multiply that 35 cents by hundreds of thousands or millions of ballots.

To send a ballot to everyone in California, the largest state, this would add about $14 million to postage. In Wyoming it would add about $200,000. These aren't ginormous figures on a statewide scale, but the agencies responsible in each state may have razor thin budget margins.
