That's the ultimate "jumping through hoops" to exercise your constitutional right. The GOP has been open, transparent, and surprisingly honest about exactly what they're up to here. The funny thing is the people on the losing end have basically sat on the sidelines and watched it all unfold before their eyes, yet still don't feel the need to do anything about it.

          Because these things make it harder for our side to win otherwise the republicans wouldn’t be doing it.

          If there was ever evidence that some people care far more about their team losing than the actual bad things the republicans are doing this is it.

                Okay, I've had my conservative leanings in the past, but feel like I've redeemed myself more lately (last 10 years or so).

                Still, I just can't get excited about all this "taking away of rights." With rights come responsibilities, right? Why shouldn't voters have the responsibility to keep the rolls updated every 5-10 years? It hardly seems that burdensome to me. If someone does inadvertently get dropped, it's not like they're convicted felons who will not be allowed to re-register. I assume all the normal voter registration channels are open to them - nobody is having their "rights" taken away.

                  The problem is people won't learn they aren't on the roles til they show up on election day and can't vote. If you're in a state with same day registration, no problem. But most states don't have that.

                  And it's not like we take your right to free speech away if you don't petition the government for X # of years.

                        Declining to vote is a choice just as much as voting is, as can be seen in the last election. Now you don't have the choice, apparently.
                        if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice

                          Just stop. No one’s right to vote has been taken away. That’s like saying that an 18 year old, or someone who moves, or someone who changes their name has had their right taken from them. It’s still there.

                          It’s illogical to think states have to keep you on the registration rolls in perpetuity, so all we are really debating is how long should they wait.
                          That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                            If they don't know they were unregistered and show up and can't vote then yes, that's exactly what happened.

                                How is it logical to take someone's registration away?

                                Why is it a requirement to vote just to be able to vote in the next election without re-registering?

                                How do you know that the lack of voting wasn't a problem with the polling stations? How can you be 100% sure that the problem is due to the voter and not something else?

                                WHY IS THE CORE ASSUMPTION THAT THE VOTER IS IN THE WRONG? Voting IS our right.

                                And since we can put some pretty drastic rules onto the 15th Amendment like that, why can't we do the same to the 2nd?????
