Someone explain to me voter registration
My philosopher roommate and I were talking last night as I read some things for one of my political science classes and I began to wonder about something. I read about the fact that one state has no voter registration at all and 2 others have same-day voter registration. He, being of the philosophical mindset and, I believe, a little less than pragmatic, declared that the state with no voter registration had it right because nation-states are dead anyway. Clearly, I can see the pragmatic argument against this. However, what I can't see a pragmatic argument agaisnt is why not have all states with same day voter registration? What is it that keeps states from adopting this? I can see no benefit to either party if it's easier for EVERYONE to register. So, can some please explain to me why there are not more states with same-day registration?
