Here me out, the major toxic voting incentives can be fixed very easily:

If you receive a subsidy, welfare, handout from the govt of any kind, you automatically lose the right to vote. In no world does it make sense for people who receive benefit to get to vote for those who pay for it to have a greater, coerced obligation to them.

You can't lose a right without committing a crime, so how would you justify that legal or philosophically

Voting yourself stuff isn’t a right because someone else pays for it. And you wouldn’t be losing it, you would be agreeing under simple contractual terms, that if you receive these funds, you give up your vote in the next election. (Or similar)
