How is that in any way better than the US government just paying the market rate for postage when it sends election mail?

The US government does not send election mail, because it does not conduct elections. Elections are conducted by state governments. Election mail should be a free service provided by the US government in exchange for states adopting certain mandates, such as universal voting by mail with no postage assessed to the voter.
