Sure, and motor-voter (which automatically registers people to vote when they get driver's licenses)[1] doesn't help people who don't drive. But both do enable a lot of people who wouldn't otherwise vote to do so. I would like to see the homeless be able to vote, but we're talking about 500K people in a country of 330M, so we shouldn't overstate the impact that would have.
