A fierce battle over who should vote and how has sparked hundreds of
lawsuits and prompted accusations of voter suppression. So what are the
barriers to voting and why do they exist?

Images of the long queues of early voters were both celebrated as a sign
of enthusiasm and criticised as evidence of a creaking electoral system.

Queues, restrictive voting laws and limited access to polling stations
all keep people from participating in the democratic process, says
Andrea Hailey, the CEO of Vote.org, a non-partisan non-profit that aims
to use technology to help people register to vote.

The ability to register to vote is available year round in my state, and
I would bet it is in most every state. Also, the ability to request an
Absentee Ballot for voting in an election is available in most states
months before the election. To imply that someone is eligible to vote
and is being deprived an opportunity to register and vote, is B.S.
Voting is like providing for ones family, it takes some effort but it is
the responsible thing to do if you care.

I agree with this report, it's strange that something so basic as
casting a vote should be made so difficult for voters.
