actually Dems and ACLU just sued and won in Georgia so polls staying open

that said . it is always baffling why it is obligation of citizen to be registered to vote
it should be the obligation of the State (which runs elections in USA) to make sure that ever legal citizen of voting age is correctly registered to vote and able to vote in a quick and easy manner

one interesting aspect of the 14th amendment never aggressive pursue by Democrats to expand voting

Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.



In other words if a State is found to deny voting rights of inhabitants to the State then THEIR REPRESENTATION IN CONGRESS WILL BE REDUCED.

in other words States are found to be suppressing minority or poor people votes could lose a congressional seat in Congress ! this certainly would motivate States to make sure everyone votes
