So recently here in Arizona I have heard of faux governmental websites that steal your information! They look and smell good but they are bogus for sure. Always caution when sending any information over the web. I know that you both know that very well with your awesome IT backgrounds! <3 It is easier to vote if you are dead I think! LOL Just kidding.

I don't get it either. Our county bends over backwards to make it easy to vote, and people still complain. While I fully believe it is a citizen's duty to vote, I don't understand the idea of voting as magic: that it is the act of voting itself that counts, irrespective of whether the vote is intelligent, thoughtful, or well-informed. I think that attitude is somehow related to participation trophies, and the consequences even more dire.

They talk about voter registration here since apparently it is so difficult to register on the same day of voting here and that disenfranchises certain populations.

Given that you don't need any identification to prove you live in NH, or are who you say you are (other than signing a document affirming the above) I don't understand the argument at all, but people vigorously debate it and say that our registration laws are too strict.

I'm not sure how they could be any looser, other than not even asking the person to affirn that their name is X and they live in the voting district.
