While it is true we had some voter registration laws which are supposed to make it easier, I have never lived where it was made as obvious as Nicole reports. In fact, I cannot think of once when I've seen any posters about it at the local post offices, even. Theoretically, it is supposed to be easy, but it is my impression that a lot of people haven't gotten the message or are confused about it. It used to be each state had its own requirements. I know some people are still confused between those and what the new laws mandate.

I also agree that many people do not vote because they feel it does not matter. THAT is a bunch of sh**, imo. IF everyone who has the right to vote actually did so, we could have a ballot revolution.
