Laziness or ignorance isn’t a loss of suffrage.
My case wasn’t one of ignorance or laziness. My case was one of where a state has a deadline for filing for an absentee ballot (say Oct 1, for example) and then you decide (or get the opportunity) on Oct 15 to go on vacation through mid-November.
In such cases, if the person decides to go, he (in effect) loses his ability to vote.
But again, unless the government is *forcing* you to move right then, I fail to see how you have a case. You could, if you chose, simply move a bit earlier or a bit later (or not move at all) and not have a problem. The government isn’t taking away your right to vote — you are by moving at that particular date.
