🚨🚨HUGE WIN FOR DEMOCRACY: Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro just announced that eligible residents of the state will be automatically registered to vote when they renew their driver's license or get a new one, unless they choose to opt out. This is a MAJOR win for democracy, a feature that has often been included in Voting Rights bills advocated by Democrats. What's even better is that Shapiro announced it on National Voter Registration Day. State records show that 10.3 million residents were eligible to register to vote, but only 8.7 million were actually registered. The Governor's new automatic registration initiative will help increase the number of registered voters. "Pennsylvania is the birthplace of our democracy, and as governor, I'm committed to ensuring free and fair elections that allow every eligible voter to make their voice heard," Governor Shapiro said. He added that residents already have to produce multiple forms of identification at the DMV to obtain their licenses, so this is just a common sense next step for democracy. Do you agree that other Governors need to follow Shapiro's example and make voter registration automatic at the DMV?
@ReallyAmerican1 @mmpadellan In Canada we are registered to vote every year when we file income taxes. I wondered why the USA didn't do the same thing.
@ReallyAmerican1 That's not a win for democracy it's a win for democrats who found a way to get illegal aliens registered to vote.
@ReallyAmerican1 What if they don't want to register to vote?
@ReallyAmerican1 Should non citizens be allowed to vote in the US?
@ReallyAmerican1 Question for dems: Do you care if non citizens vote in our elections? If you found out that the government was issuing licenses to non citizens and in doing so, they were automatically registered to vote in our elections, would that be ok? Looking for honest feedback.
@ReallyAmerican1 Believe it or not many people choose NOT to vote………. They don’t care or don’t want anyone on the ballot.
@ReallyAmerican1 Anyone who believes we live in a "Democracy" should be automatically purged from the rolls until they take a civics course.
@ReallyAmerican1 I can’t believe there is no more opposition to this than what is here. It is obvious an attempt to obtain more registered votes than what should be allowed. 16 year olds being registered and also noncitizens.
@ReallyAmerican1 If they don't care enough to register, how much do you think they care to understand complex topics and impact of voting?
