PA enacts automatic voter registration!

[MDC 7,405]

Eligible voters getting a new driver’s license or ID card in Pennsylvania will now be automatically registered to vote, Commonwealth officials said.

Gov. Josh Shapiro, a Democrat, announced the change Tuesday, touting it as good for democracy.

“Automatic voter registration is a commonsense step to ensure election security and save Pennsylvanians time and tax dollars,” Shapiro said in a statement. “Residents of our Commonwealth already provide proof of identity, residency, age, and citizenship at the DMV — all the information required to register to vote — so it makes good sense to streamline that process with voter registration,” he added.

Pennsylvania becomes the 24th state to implement automatic voter registration, according to a tally from the National Conference of State Legislatures.

Automatic voter registration simplifies the voter registration processes and requires voters to opt out if they want to stay off the rolls. Previously, voters in Pennsylvania were offered the option to register while getting a driver's license, a process that involved 19 screens of questions. Now, they will be automatically taken through 11 questions during the ID process, according to Manuel Bonder, a spokesman for the governor.

The measure also helps election officials keep their voter rolls tidy, by allowing voters to update their registrations during the same process.

Americans have been able to register to vote at a state motor vehicle agency since a federal law required it in 1993; since then, nearly half of all states and the District of Columbia have made the process automatic.

As a candidate, Shapiro campaigned as a democracy defender, and his democracy policy plan included implementing automatic voter registration.

Great move!

Wish they'd do that nationwide with organ donation.

So they reduces the questions from 19 to 11 and make everyone, even those who wish to opt out, answer.  Great!  Btw, the big feat is the reduction in questions.  The other is a way to make retards voter eligible for the liberal base.

You don't need to preface "liberal base" with "retard voter" as it's implied.  Those two phrases are basically interchangeable.

They went back and forth on whether or not to include the twelfth question, "would you like your mail ballot to be pre-filled out for Democrats, or would you like it pre-filled out against Republicans?  They thought they may save that change for the next election cycle.  One small step at a time.

It's a good thing. It's mass mailing out of unrequested absentee ballots that are the problem as that leads to ballot harvesting.

Uh yeah. Sadly I think there are plenty of dumb Americans to go around. 

These dopes wearing eagle and flag shirts talking about whatever nonsense at Trump rallies are hysterical though.

Of course.

Dems need to increase that population of registered non voters for their 3AM vote dump.  

[Cdub100 3,903]

We need fewer people voting not more.

Step 2: give drivers license and IDs to illegal immigrants.

It is a shame that throughout time, we've always had Democrat policies that kept people down.

[TBayXXXVII 2,545]

This is funny, because it's a side step to needing an ID to vote (which is apparently racist), and this is apparently championed by liberals.

 

Like @Voltaire said above, this really isn't an issue unless they're planning to use their DL rolls to mail everyone out ballots.  Also, like what @Baker Boy said, it's not a problem either unless another plan they're envisioning is giving illegal immigrants DL's.
