absentee ballots

i have a question: why do they make it so hard to get an absentee ballot? i mean if it's hard enough to get people to go out to vote in the first place, wouldn't you be jumping up and down for joy that someone actually cares enough to vote when they aren't even going to be in their home county to take a part of the voting? i mean honestly do they just *know* that we're all democrats and god forbid we get to vote in the first place. granted i'm sure my viewpoint is a little skewed being from texas and everything. but still, i just don't understand how we need to send in our request to vote "early" or mail it in no earlier than 2 months prior to the election. hello, i'm on top of things, i wanted to do it now. really would they forget if i sent it in in august instead of september? honestly now, it is their job to keep track of this stuff. ah well. such is the life of a college student from texas, now to get all the other texans in mass to register and send in their absentee ballot info on time.
