I’d expect the state to have a list of all its citizens and their basic personal info (age) which could be used to determine their eligibility for voting. In my country, we get a “invitation” to the vote, with your voter station and info on how to change it.

Instead, I’m seeing posts about USA’s “voter rolls”, which are sometimes purged, which prevents people from voting. Isn’t this an attack on the voting system and democracy itself?

So why doesn’t USA have a list of voters? Are they stupid?

    There are mail in ballots, but thats why republicans hate them so much. It means our votes get counted

        Sort of, it’s common for some military ballots to arrive too late and not be counted.
