Dear Starchild;
If you lived in Chicago even dying wouldn't work. There have been
numerous documented reports of dead people in Chicago reliably and
consistently and continually voting for several years after their
death. Even wooden stakes through the heart didn't work.
In California it still would be difficult to get removed. Thanks to
former State Senator Milton Marks of SF the usual voter rolls purge
was changed from if you don't vote during presidential general
elections you would be purged from the voter rolls before the next
general presidential elections. The change made it if the Post
Office sent back a voter card as no longer at that address then the
Registrar would delete the voter.
It seems under the old system too many Democrats were being purged
from the voter rolls and this didn't look good especially in
presidential election years. You just gotta love them rock-ribbed
never move anywhere always vote Republicans for giving Democrats
conniption fits.

Michael,
It seems to me that the only way to reliably stop
governments from
doing bad things in your name or with your assistance, even if
unwillingly provided, is to die (and get someone reliable to make
sure
your name is removed from the voter rolls!)
I think you'll have to admit that suicide would be the
ultimate
principled stand, but sometimes doing the most principled thing
flies
in the face of common sense and is not the course of action most
likely
to move us toward a free society.
Yours in liberty,
