Anthony, et al.,

Wyoming permits registration at your polling place on election day, with a
verifiable address
(utility bill in your name, driver's license, state ID showing that address,
etc.), but as Kat said,
that may well be due to our relatively low population.  So, we are required
to register, but don't
need to do it in advance.

An unreasonable man (but my wife says that's redundant!)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one
persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore, all progress
depends on the unreasonable man.
