A couple of weeks ago, I read that many absentee American voters will lose their vote due to the paperwork being sent out too late for them to get registered in time. Today I read that nearly 50% of NY immigrant voters will lose their vote, due to an administrative backlog. What with all that, and those disenfranchised due to their having been on the wrong side of the law, seriously or otherwise. Add that to the missing votes in Florida last time around, and the gerrymandering in Texas, and I begin to wonder whether voting is a right or a lottery in the US.
Not saying we are perfect over here, but that's the way it looks from my side.
