We Have Reached 40% of Total Turnout; Biden Leads by 20 Million Votes (if the polls are right)

17. Same day registration is, according to the internet,

available in 21 states plus the District of Columbia. And some of them only allow that during the early voting period. If same day registration, through Election Day itself, were universal, then VEP would be very meaningful. But since it's not universal, the VEP is much less meaningful than those who actually are registered. If nothing else, both numbers should be included.

My opinion, anyway.

It used to be that many (maybe most? I don't know) states required that you have lived there some minimum time, sometimes as long as a year, before allowing you to register to vote. And closed registration at least thirty days before Election Day. At least those things have changed significantly.
