Why do I need to register on this site to "commit to voting"?

This looks like a site that's doing nothing but getting my information to send me a bunch of political crap for one side or the other.

yep...at the bottom of the page.  

By providing your phone number you are consenting to receive calls to that number from the DNC and each of the individual state parties. You also agree that you would like to receive periodic text messages from the DNC. Msg&Data rates may apply. Text STOP to cancel or HELP for help.

I didn't get that ... my link took me to the state of Massachusetts Secretary of the State website and allowed me to search by name address etc.  I didn't mess with "I commit to vote" but instead "check if I'm registered".  Perhaps that's the difference?  

Edit: just tried for the state of NE and you don't have the same choice I do.    I checked MT, HI, NJ, AL, FL, WA, WV, UT, TX, NH, SD and others and they all have the screen below.  Only Nebraska, North Dakota And Maine don't  have the option.  So I'm sorry BRB.  Wasn't trying to corner anybody - odd that most states allow online verification except a handful.  If I have time later I'll contact the site directly about the requirements for those states.  I find that really unusual.  And I don't blame you - I don't give my info to anybody.

This one has links to each state's site and ability for Nebraska to search by county, name, birthdate etc.  Maybe it's more helpful:  https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/
