Why is there a referral link to vote.gov? And why do you guys need to register in order to vote? In EU you can just go to the voting ballot by being a citizen
In the US there is no "national ID" everything is linked to like other countries. We used to be strongly privacy minded as a country (weird I know). So that as left some rather weird legacy problems. Hence having the register to vote.
Also we have a much different power dynamic between states and the federal government. Our states have a LOT more power than local/regional ones in most counties.
I'm reality, it's mostly absolute chaos. People unwittingly break so many laws everytime they cross a state border. Between helmet laws, small motor, open container, vastly different fire arm regulations, differing vehicular restrictions, legality or illegality of common substances.
That's not even to mention all the interstate stuff managed by the fed. Like traveling accross state lines with a pill organizer is illegal.
I will at least point out, that unless it’s a safety or moving violation you can’t get something like a window tint ticket in Virginia if your car is registered in North Carolina because the window tint laws are different.
Also, in rare cases, if the vehicle comes from the factory with super dark tint, you can’t get a ticket period because it is federally allowed. See the GM Pontiac fiero rear limo tint from the 80’s.
And this is just one aspect of a vehicle across state lines. So yea, it’s chaos and the police will give you a ticket anyways, especially if you’re a visitor.
The way the electoral roll is managed varies from place to place.
Avoiding automatic voter registration tends to favour the more traditionally conservative demographic; it's racist and classist, but the people who turn up to vote on local electoral issues are too, by and large. It requires engagement to change.
I'm the state of Illinois you can more or less do this. You just need proof of residency to register day of at the polls. It was very fascinating to see when my wife's registration was removed.
Ok smarty pants let’s see you come up with a better system to give votes to empty land instead of
niminorities!Referral source is a built in feature in browsers that analytics tools can utilize. It does not require any special links.
It just means that a website (almost) always knows the previous page you came from.
