Automatic Registration
WHAT IF THERE WERE A WAY TO MAKE IT EASY TO VOTE?
Oregon has enacted just such a plan. Voting there was already “by mail,” so no missing work or waiting in lines. Now, every adult citizen with a driver’s license (for which proof of citizenship is required) will be automatically registered to vote.
As you would expect, this was unanimously opposed by Oregon’s Republican legislators. What a bad idea: making it easy for citizens to vote.

At the end of this three minutes. Very fun.
Quote of the Day
We've forgotten all the sacrifices that the people who've gone before us made to give us this wonderful life that we have. We accept it; we take it for granted; we think it's our birthright. The facts are, it's precious, it's fragile -- it can disappear.
~Ross Perot, 1988Search
