In addition to what everyone else has said, there's no reason to assume that willingness/ability to go through a cumbersome in-person registration process is a good predictor of voter informativeness.

Personally, I'm a bit of a political junky. I regularly read political news, have volunteered on campaigns, and would consider myself to be a very well-informed voter. Yet I also find registration and actually voting very annoying, since I can be informed digitally (while traveling, etc.) but the actual mechanics of voting are archaic.
