It's pretty pathetic that you're cheering on the decline of democracy just because your side 'won.' It's government, not a football game.
What right is being taken away?
The right to being able to vote just because you have a medical emergency and are unable to vote for an election or two.
It tends to happen with the elderly most of all.
It’s pretty pathetic that you’re defining the “decline of the democracy” as being simply any Supreme Court ruling that you don’t like.

No one's right to vote is being taken away LOL. It just means your name is taken off the registry, which means you have to register again.
Uh huh. That's a funny joke because it happened to me. I was living overseas from 2008-2015. When I wanted to vote for Bernie Sanders, I couldn't because of that same exact fucking thing and also I wanted to change from independent to Democrat. Guess what.. I have to wait for the next election cycle.. which means I can vote in 2020!
I see, so when the law works after being applied as written and upheld by the Supreme Court; that is the “decline of democracy.” Because that’s the job of the judiciary, to make sure that they look after you personally and your particular circumstances so what ever exceptions you need will be made.
Why? What is the benefit?
well we could start with compliance with the 1993 National Voter Registration Act which requires states to
Keep voter registration lists accurate and current, such as identifying persons who have become ineligible due to having died or moved outside the jurisdiction. I suppose preventing people from voting in multiple states and preventing dead people from registering a vote don't count eh?
What about removing criminals who lose their right to vote from the registration list? no?
I mean with Counties like Los Angeles which have 144% registered Voters vs Resident Citizens, you might think there is some type of potential fraud??
How about eliminating wasteful costs by eliminating Official Election Mail for people who are dead or have moved? California once realized that 15% of its 15Million registered voters could be eliminated saving $1.5M per election in postage alone ...

So someone who never gets the card because it was lost in the mail and then shows up to vote but can't didn't just lose their right to vote.OK so you didnt re-register then? Who's fault is that?
Point is, no one's right to vote is being taken away. Its no different than if you move into a different voting district, you cant vote until you re-register.

Here's how you can tell that (many of) the government(s) of the US are corrupt.
They want the least amount of people to vote as possible.
Full stop.
Except someone knows when they are moving while people may not know they were sent a card until it is too late. It is nice that you think items getting lost in the mail is so rare though, it makes you look really smart.In the same way when a person moves into another district and doesn't register (which is a FAR more likely scenario than the one you presented) loses their right to vote.
Right?
In your scenario, as long as the person actually did reregister, that would be validated at the polling station. Loss of right not found.

What would you call it?
The god damn Supreme Court decision this thread is about.Source?
