It’s also sad that the government has become so partisan or dysfunctional that it can’t organize this itself. Really, a state or national website with all the addresses, polling locations, and verifications about whether you’re registered or not is not a whole lot to ask.

I would say they are free if your business listing isn’t hijacked or you have to spend endless hours getting a problem squared away because they have no human support….and it is fantastic most of the time and this voter tool is certainly one example but it can be less so if a hijacker has your record or a spammer hit your reviews…

Yes the US voting rate is abysmal. At best any candidate receives a plurality of the vote of US voting adults…If he/she “wins” with 45% of the vote, they will only have received affirmation from 22% of the population. Hardly majority rules is it?
