postcarding

That act of taking ineffective action. Advocating or engaging in activism that appears impactful but lacks substantial or lasting effect, often limited to symbolic gestures or superficial, fruitless efforts. Frequently used to describe actions that provide a sense of participation without creating meaningful change.

poisoned postcard

Mail sent to an address by the government to ask for confirmation that the resident still lives there; if the resident does not respond, e.g., because s/he mistakes it for junk mail, the state uses non-response as its excuse to purge the voter from its rolls
The (in)accuracy of non-response to assess residency can be corroborated by comparing purged name-address pairs with recent USPS and Amazon shipments.
I never returned that poisoned postcard, which explains why I had to fill out a provisional ballot. I wonder if it was counted.
