BREAKING: 11,000 young South Carolinians won't be able to cast a ballot this year after a judge declined to fix an error that wrongfully denied the registrations of those who were 17-years-old when they registered but would be 18 by Election Day.-- Democracy Docket

@GottaLaff @gerald where as in Australia the Electoral Commission contacts 17 year olds to make sure they register so that they can vote on their 18th birthday if need be.

The U.S. system is so weird.

@fraser @GottaLaff @gerald In Canada, when you file your taxes, there's a checkbox to confirm your information with Elections Canada. Before any election from municipal to federal, we get a form in the mail a month or more ahead of time.
It's SO SIMPLE!
@Mayor_of_Smartarse @fraser @GottaLaff @gerald and you can vote by mail, in advance and at any voting location.
