Letter: Registering to vote, voting should be easy, not a headache

We’re in the thick of a big election year, and there is no shortage of responsibility being laid on those who are eligible to vote. It would seem that every organization and campaign is putting pressure on voters to exercise their civic duty to participate in elections. That’s fine. However, in the state of Michigan, it has become increasingly difficult to cast your vote if you do not have countless hours on election day to stand at your specified polling location. This needs to change.

Letter: Big Ten Championship ticket sales were botched for loyal students
