Into the Weeds: Newby on Provisional Ballots

Although it helps, you don't have to be a hard-core election geek to get several questions from these figures: ~ How do 1,300+ people go to the polls thinking they're registered when they're not? [This is one that always puzzles me - Confusion? Laziness? Misinformation?] ~ The 900+ voters who missed the address line on the envelope suggests a design issue (paging Drs. Chisnell and Quesenbery, stat!) ~ Would sample ballots reduce or eliminate the "advance ballot voters at the polls" problem - and if so are those benefits (plus voter information) worth the cost to produce and distribute them?
