Offer may differ for some communities, certain may experience having to sign up two counties over, in the basement, on the second Wednesday every odd month, behind a locked door with a sign "Beware of the leopard".
Better if everyone just gets enrolled by default.
But the whole point is that non-citizens are voting or multiple voting or non-resident voting is occurring.
The question is, how do you know that the person who is in the line to vote is the person who he says he is. Sure the name John Doe is on the list, but is the person standing in front of you is John Doe or not, how do you establish that?
My shit country has solved this _ages_ ago:
Every citizen has an id.
The IDs are issued by each state, but they are all functionally the same. You will have no trouble voting with an out-of-state ID.
That ID is free and relatively easy to get.
Every citizen has an assigned place (building, room and ballot box) to vote, and it's usually close to their residence (you are expected to update when you move, it's also very easy).
Each ballot holds no more than 600 votes, average is around 300. Lines are uncommon, it usually took me like 5 minutes to vote.
Voting takes place on a Sunday, and most cities make public transit free of charge.
Agree, it should be easier not harder to register and to vote
It's really difficult to tell what percentage of people that applies to, but just for one example I got from Google, The Tax Policy Center estimates that 70 Million Americans do not need to pay income tax.

Just a guess but I think that overlap is probably pretty large. I would think the majority of people who don't owe taxes are due to lower incomes who would not be required to file and that is offset with deductions....purely a guess though.
