The Republican National Committee is urging the Supreme Court to intervene in an Arizona election dispute this week and block up to 40,000 of the state’s registered voters from casting ballots in the presidential race.
Republican state lawmakers say these voters did not provide proof of their citizenship when they were registered and now they should be barred from voting in person or by mail.
In some states, it’s even better than that - there is no checkbox at the DMV, they just automatically register you to vote if you’re eligible and it’s a whole process to not register. My anarchist never-voting roommate was so salty when the DMV automatically registered her to vote.
Also we have day-of voter registration that you don’t even need a current ID to do, the list of accepted documents is pretty good, and if you don’t have one of those documents sometime who is already registered can vouch for you (of course, you can get into trouble if you vouch for someone who is not supposed to be voting).
Minnesota is very proud of our best in the nation voter turnout.
