counterpoint: less disenfranchisement, actions to honor the popular vote at the party and popular vote level (see: super delegates, electoral college, state representation), perturbation of the 2 party system to allow representation of positions held by young people would all be _actions_ to cause more people to vote, rather than telling people to stand in lines in badly gerrymandered counties with insufficient services. At some point, people loose trust in the system. Gallop polls from this year indicate that 60% of Americans do not have confidence in the US election system [1].
