You get states like Georgia that sit on 40,000 voter registrations because they've found a fraudulent few (and let's not forget that registrars are required by law to submit every registration they receive; they're not allowed to be the gatekeepers) and then argues to the courts that there is no law that requires them to process registrations in time for the election.

You know, shit like that. But yeah, people should just vote instead of doing other things to call attention to injustice.

I know there are situations where politicians are trying to skim votes off the rolls, but these involve a small number of people. It's not difficult to register and vote in this country. I'd argue there has never been an easier time for it. Stop treating the population like idiots.
