LOL
Actually I thought we were having a good open discussion on several threads. I apologise if you believe I'm going off track and invite you to point this out ot me.

ok, i don't know how many times this needs to be said. i put it in caps at the start of the discussion so as to head these sorts of inflammatory remarks off at the pass. i'm at a loss on why it went there so quickly. no one is proposing that someone's rights be taken away.

I thought we were discussing hypothetical or rhetorical questions. I know you didn't suggest their rights should be revoked. I'm at a loss as to your (inferred) frustation here.
You asked four specific questions. I suggested four answers. Where have we gone wrong? I'm honestly confused as to your reaction.

::sighs:: people who choose not to register by themselves or prefer to sit at home on election day are not disenfranchised. that's a buzz word of our political times that seldom applies to reality.

And who said they were?
Again, it seems to me that you pose some questions (many of them rhetorical) and then don't go anywhere. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Let's put it another way. Answer your own four questions to guide the discussion along.
Yours, with respect as always,
Mr Mephisto
