Loopholes in voting system a symptom of its openness (??)

[Wilms]

Note: If I've heard correctly, The Journal Sentinel is conservative leaning publication.

I'm trying to find/highlight areas of bi-partisan agreement.

In the article the author takes on the following issues I hope folks will comment on here.

Bad addresses
Same-day registrations
Absentee ballots
Voting as someone else
Deceased voters
Felons and non-citizens

Comments, please?

As a state, Wisconsin has long prided itself on the openness of its voting system. It is a place where voters don't have to declare a party, can register right at the polls and - if they have registered in advance - get a ballot simply by stating their name and address.

But after a second straight razor-close presidential election, where some see positives in a system that makes it easy to vote, others see problems that they argue make it too easy to vote fraudulently.
