Oh, horrors! Should I complain that it is a hassle that I have to register to vote?
Why can't we just vote on the honor system?

If you don't fall into one those many categories on that list, there is no 
reason you shouldn't be able to get to the polling place either during the 
early voting period or on election day. I have zero sympathy for anyone 
who fails to get their vote cast.

Are we supposed to believe that somebody who wants to vote can't figure 
out what they need to do to get their vote cast. In addition, these 
regulations apply to ALL voters so it is absurd to think these regulations 
are aimed at keeping black people from voting.
