Comments: Expand Shrink Hide (Always) | Indented Flat (Always)
Several close friends of mine run the Early Voting Center at Portland's Reed College; I shotgunned the question to them and got the without-frills answer of roughly 5% or so. Nothing miraculous and somewhat slight, but not bad. Plus the other benefits, and it sounds good to me.

Re-assessment
5% is interesting when you look at this:
Vote more often: 29.3% Vote the same: 66.6% Vote less often: 4.1%
So either people have the mistaken impression that they're voting more often or else voting patterns have returned closer to what they were before the novelty of vote by mail.

I'm pretty certain about my figure (by trusting the source), so it is fascinating that the perception is what it is...
