Reply to comment by mrlolloran in In the US, many eligible voters have to not only register to vote, but re-register to vote. Automatic voter re-registration – which targets those already registered rather than all eligible nonregistrants – would on its own increase turnout in the US by 5.8 percentage points. by smurfyjenkins

You would think the US, the centre of the global financial system, would have good banking systems right? But there are over 10 million adults without bank accounts in the US. So it seems there are quite a few people who live lives outside of what you consider normal.

I’ve worked for a bank as a teller and I’ve seen the amount of people who just cash their employees checks. While it’s not how I’d live my life this little factoid is entirely unsurprising to me
