So what's the solution to a crappy registration and voting system?

Wait about offering a tax break to voters? That increases to a cap level for each consecutive year they vote but returns to 0 if they miss a year? /crazyidea

Well, step 1 to increasing voter turnout would be to making a holiday. It's ridiculous that election day isn't a national holiday.

Floating day off with proof of voting? I am sure it violates some law, but not a bad idea. I say floating because we probably don't need yet another day where everything shuts down.

I really don't understand why increasing voter turnout is viewed as a good thing. An uninformed voter is harmful. Far too many people vote along party lines or based on a few attack ads they saw on TV. These types of voters are easily manipulated by entities who do not have their best interests at heart. It is very important to make voting *available* to everyone but it is not so important for everyone to vote.
