Republicans, to be blunt, have not only become wedded to racism but also hostile to democracy itself. The states that have implemented automatic registration have seen huge increases in registration, “between 9 and 94 percent in seven states and the District of Columbia, due to their automatic registration systems. The vast majority of states that have automatic registration are blue states (e.g., Oregon, California, New Mexico, New Jersey, Illinois, Connecticut, Vermont and Rhode Island) or leaning blue (Colorado). Why, then, shouldn’t we implement automatic voter registration and other techniques that maximizing voting (vote by mail?) Republicans have to decide if they believe in this democracy stuff.
