Some people think that voter registration laws lead to disenfranchisement. Yeah, it does prevent some people from voting. The registration process is simple, though, and those too lazy to register to vote probably aren't going to vote anyway. Voter Registration laws also prevent voter fraud. One could easily walk into the voting booth and ask for a ballot, but without registration, how would we know whether or not they're underage, have already voted, a felon, a resident of another state, or using the identity of a deceased person. All in all- voter registration is a good idea.
