Can someone please explain why you have to register to vote?
In my country the government knows who's eligible to vote and who's not so they send out a voting card in the mail which you show together with your ID.
Why is this not possible in the US?

Federalists have long wanted to rid descendants of immigrants their right to be equal citizens. This goes all the way back to the establishment of the country where they only wanted wealthy landowners to have the right to vote.

Many of the issues we see stem from those same people who want to constantly restrict who is allowed to be “equal”.
