Are you saying most states don't register voters ahead of the election? As I was builind my career my first employer promoted me every four to five years. I've voted in Indiana, Kansas, Illinois, Georgia, South Carolina, and Florida. Not once could I walk up on election day and vote without being registered before hand.
I understand some states have provisional voting in the case when someone presents they're eligible to vote but the information does not jive with the rolls, but those votes are not supposed to be counted unless things get matched up. If you are implying some precints in Texas and elsewhere count the provisional ballots anyway then that's a state issue. In the case of Texas, a solid red state issue and not a democratic trick as was implied.
Lurker got it right, the time to prove eligibility to vote is at registration and registration drives at the local store is just too fraught with potential for abuse.
