I have worked at the polls since I was 18 years old. To register you need to register in a precinct and bring a picture ID, (which can be given out for no cost). The office that oversees voting makes sure that there are no voters, that have registered in more than one location. Lets say you are registered in house X , you can't move to house Y and register again. You can request a change of address but if you are registered in one precinct, that will be the only place you can vote.
A state issued ID should be enough to allow you to vote. Doing what the republicans are doing in Michigan is out right wrong. Because a person is in finanacial trouble does not mean they should have no voice in government.
This is an old fashioned dirty politics trick and is used to disinfranchise a group of people that are more than likely, to vote opposite of the party trying to get this thru. Historically it was used to keep blacks from voting and it looks like it is continued to try to do the same thing.
