   the entire concept of "voter registration" (and associated shenanigans) is so alien to my European brain that I fail to see any reason why the richest country in the world does things this way other than voter suppression. What am I missing?

         Why should non-citizens be excluded from voting? If the community they live in makes a democratic decision they should be included.

            Simply because it's ripe for abuse. I would never expected to vote as a non permanent resident, any place I live.

               I think otherwise. Let's put it to a vote. Hope you're a citizen.
