Vote (Mostly) Online, a new Wisconsin-based startup, will make it possible for millennials who can’t be bothered to get off the internet and go outside for once to, well, vote (mostly) online.

Too Lazy To Vote? Wisconsin Startup Offers To Do Most Of It for Millennials

Wisconsin students slammed with homework, extracurriculars or pot-induced lethargy can vastly streamline the voting process with the help of a new startup, The Cap Times reports:

Online voting isn’t legal in the U.S., and Wisconsin doesn’t currently allow online registration. But Vote (Mostly) Online will offer an online service aimed at millennials that will allow them to vote without having to go to the polls on Election Day, making use of the absentee voting system.

The start-up was founded by four entrepreneurs between the ages of 25 and 30. Co-founder Michael Fenchel described the partners as “members of the millennial generation, born in the digital age … passionate about making our communities, our state and our world a better place.”

The service will even register you, mailing “a package with registration and absentee forms in a pre-stamped envelope,” the Times says.

The funny thing is that millennials actually have a higher voting rate in Wisconsin than the national average – the state is a model of civic engagement at all age levels – but Fenchel says voting systems conflict with their “mobile lifestyle.”

He elaborates on the startup’s website why millennials don’t like voting:

We realized it’s not because we’re bad people or that we don’t care… it’s because the process feels like such a pain and we’re not used to doing things like going to physical places or working with printers and stamps (snail mail is SO 20th century).

The service is only a fifth of the way to reaching its $50,000 goal – it won’t name its donors – and it’s not turning down offers of help from (as the Times puts it) “anyone who shares their values.” With a nail-biter of a race this fall involving a union-busting governor, guess who that might be.

Meanwhile, Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker is actually talking to Republican college students about recruiting voters for the fall election, which he concedes “probably leans a little to the Democrats,” Marquette Wire reports.
