I oppose a state removing an individual from the eligible voter rolls because of lack of voting. While I consider voting a civic duty there is no U.S. Constitution requirement for an individual to vote. Some don't vote because they think it doesn't matter who is elected. Others may feel there's no candidate worth voting for. If voting was convenient and there was a more diverse set of candidates there would probably be an increase in voting participation. In Australia federal election and referendum attendance is compulsory but actually casting votes is not. Participating uninformed voters do not improve the selection process.

The 2013 Supreme Court ruling in Shelby County v. Holder gutted key portions of the Voting Rights Act, which protected eligible voters from discriminatory voting laws. The court claimed those protections were no longer necessary. During the past seven years state legislatures have passed numerous infringements on voting rights. The more impediments there are to voting the easier it is for the minority to "rule" the majority. Citizens rely too much on the courts for protection of their liberties instead of replacing lawmakers who violate their rights. I use fairelectionadvocates.org to encourage citizens to join grassroots movements to improve the election process.
