Our state provides for voting registration when you renew the DL or get the dividend subsidy, which most all residents get, that works pretty well. Something similar should happen on a national scale, register with filing of taxes.
The IRS is not organized or skilled enough to be handling voter registration. The amount of tax fraud is indicative of their lack of investigative skill. Voters should be able to vote using their blockchain key but the registration still needs to be in person and someone has to be able to verify identity. There will always be some effort required of citizens to exercise their rights. Freedom carries some responsibility. People in other countries sometimes travel and spend days to vote. The least we Americans can do is spend a little time at the post office, library, county office, or DMV to get registered.
