Thankfully Minnesota allows 'day of election' registration, but seriously, register if you havent elsewhere.

I do plan on voting. I just badly want to spite everyone in that video for being sarcastic jerks to me. [cries]

You may or may not realize that there's metric ****tons of young people who really AREN'T registered and who really DON'T realize there's that much at stake.

Why have voter registration at all? Over here, you can just go and vote, nothing required in advance..

Expedites the process, mostly. Minnesota doesnt require it before, you can the day of, and I think Wisconsin and several other states are the same, but you have to prove you live where you say you live with a bill, drivers license, or someone willing to sign a statement saying that you live where you say you do. Mostly though? To prevent voter fraud. People sometimes joke about 'The dead coming out to vote', which happened in Chicago. People would go to various voting stations and say they were such ans such, then go somewhere else and do that again, and the people they were saying they were were actually dead. Yeah, if you tried -really- hard, you could still fraud the system, but this gives a paper trail that can be used as evidence in prosecution should it be needed.
