> But you have to register in person.

Partially. You can fill out and send all documents online or by mail -- at least in the city I moved to. Then once everything is done you need to make an appointment to stop by and pick up your address sticker and certificate.

Having some in person part for ID things seems unavoidable, but nothing onerous.

In America, people would call that process racist voter disenfranchisement. “Black and brown people” don’t have Internet access or stamps, they would assert, and can’t take time off from working three jobs to show up to a citizenship office.

In case you think I’m joking, Joe Biden has claimed that Georgia’s online voter registration (https://registertovote.sos.ga.gov/GAOLVR/welcometoga.do?#no-...) and free Voter ID card (https://dds.georgia.gov/voter) amounts to “the New Jim Crow.”
