If only there were a test people had to pass in order to register to vote.
There are so many people who are un-educated or worse, mis-educated about our government and how it works it's just pitiful.
Every local elections commsions office needs to offer a basic "how our government works" class that people must participate in before they are issued a voter registration card.
No, They should not offer opinion and rhetoric regarding political parties or anything like that. Simply the basic principles of the U.S. Constitution, the local state Constitution and the mechanics of our election system.
Of course, the arguments against that will be that it's too expensive, it's too easy to manipulate, someone will incorrectly claim it violates their rights (any right/law can be regulated, just not totally eliminated look at the 2nd amendment for examples of that in action).
