local government should work at the convenience of the people they serve. hours should be 6-9am, 12-2pm and 6-9pm.

like in other progressive countries, voters should be fined for NOT showing up to cast their vote

Show proof of citizenship in advance, then show up and vote-what's the problem with that?

I agree, though both parties try to game the voting system to their advantage. In this day and age there is absolutely no reason voting can't be done online - try to get Dems to support that idea.

How is this "voting right" story?

First of all, the "early voting" proposal is against the Constitution. At least as far as Presidential elections go. Article II, Section 1 declares "The Congress may determine the Time of chusing the Electors, and the Day on which they shall give their Votes; which Day shall be the same throughout the United States."

Second, I see nothing there that defends or restores rights. There is no "right" to get same-day registration, same as there is no "right" to get same-day international passport or same-day marriage license. If you neglect to register in time, it's your own choosing. Your rights are not violated. Those rules don't even give us any additional convenience, since they don't remove a deadline, they just move it.

If you think otherwise, riddle me this: what if someone claims that not only he forgot to register but also that he forgot to vote? Should we allow him to register and vote a day after elections? How about a week after? No? What if someone wants to change their vote the next day? If we claim that rules and deadlines violate voting rights, we must allow it.

What those new rules do is they make it much easier to cheat the system. So I suspect, this is why they are proposed.

Do you think I'm wrong? Well, it would be easy to check. It isn't hard to make sure that the new rules aren't used for cheating. We don't need to invent anything new, since we already have ID requirements to get drivers license, or to open a bank account, so we can use the same ones. And, of course, some harsh penalties for voting fraud. If they do that, well, then I was wrong about it indeed. Otherwise...
