I guess we will have to agree to disagree, I see no reason why a resident of any state can't understand how voting works in the state they live in. I don't think income level, age or being non-English speaking matter, especially if voting is so important to them. If it isn't important enough for them to understand the process, and they haven't bothered to vote in 7 years, why is it suddenly a problem that they would have to re-register after that long of being inactive?
I think part of the problem with lower income residents is that they tend to be more transient, therefore making it difficult for any government agency to get information to those people. It's easy enough for many of us to say they should be able to check their mail, but for many of these people, where they are living in a given month can be constantly changing, so it's not as easy to get mail.
