You miss the point. Voting is both a right and a responsibility. Voting is one of the privileges of Citizenship-a most highly valued privilege, I'm sure you would agree. Affirming Citizenship in order to exercise a right seems reasonable. The laziness of people in Registeringing and confirming ID is the culprit, not rationalizing the lack of motivation of the many who don't care enough to participate without the pushing from behind of those who want to control their decisions. Making it "easier" is just an excuse for driving down the standards of "personal decisions, personal consequences; individual effort, individual achhievement."
Those who want to make it easier are just in the business of attempting to control masses of people for their own benefit.
I've voted in every election,state federal and local, since 1961. I've Registered, gone to the polls even when it was difficult, and exercised my rights in a responsible way. I want to see everybody else do the same.
