I understand that. Buts it’s a weird American aberration born out of your worrying frontier fetishism. Having a functioning central public administration would solve *a lot * of your problems.
Y’all need records, yo.
Or just be less paranoid. You have to register to vote in Canada, but you can do it automatically when filing your taxes, or at the polls with your government ID, OR at the polls with a piece of mail and an already registered voter to vouch for you. They just write your name and address down to forward to the federal or provincial elections agency, nave your voucher sign a form, and then give you a ballot.
Yeah but this Canadian method absolutely reeks of wanting people to vote.
But muh state's rights!
A centralized one that makes it easy to update would be awesome, but would require a constitutional amendment since it is currently up to each individual state.
