In which state do you live that you have to renew your driver's license every year? Here in Texas, DL renewal is every 4 years (or maybe 5... I forget.) I've only had to register to vote once also. I keep voting, and Texas keeps renewing my voter's registration card automatically, which is as it should be. It's not government's duty to be putting roadblocks in the way of the citizens.
Duh, I meant plates every year. DL every 4. Thanks for waking me up!
