With the big election in the USA coming closer, I often read the terms “registered voter” or appeals to “register to vote”. How does that work?
Here in Germany you simply get a letter a few weeks before each election, telling you which voting location you are assigned to and on the election day you simply go there, show your ID (Personalausweis) and you can vote.
Why isn’t it that easy in the USA?

Y’know how the US has this whole “freedom” propaganda stuff going on where they think they’re more free than anyone. Well that goes all the way down to voting. They are free to not vote. So free that they have to register *TOO* vote. Coincidentally, the less people vote, the more likely one particular party will get in so they never push the whole “it’s good to vote” angle, and put in roadblocks to try to get people to stay at home instead.
In other countries, like Germany, it’s a “here’s how you vote, here’s what you do, vote if you want” thing.
In Australia, it’s a “you will vote. It’s in your best interest. You will have a democracy sausage”.
