[QUOTE="WhiteChocolate, post: 269955, member: 4374"] -registering- to vote isn't so much the problem (although there are a number of states where they are trying to make it harder/more constrained based on economic/race standing, no doubt). and therein -is- a problem (as is often my own rallying cry as of late: RIGHTS DIFFER, STATE BY STATE). voting rights are -not- mandated at a federal level for nationwide; they are very, very much localized. heck, last time i registered was at my local library! they asked when i was renewing my card... ;) though i do understand, there are some states where one now has to visit a dmv that may be one, two, or more counties away. some states are trying to make voting like visiting a planned parenthood clinic... as far away and as inconvenient as possible. and, if not to restrict the ability to register to vote, but to also restrict the availability and hours of polling places. that is, again, all only 'icing on the cake' for those who wish to keep many people from having their say in our electoral process; personally, i'd like to unravel the whole thing down to 'not voting for people, but upon specific issues', and then only leave it for hired bureacrats to simply enact what -we- voted for/against. no more 'voting for their own pay-raises/tax breaks'...
