Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

So just like paying taxes
Automatic voter registration that would cover 99% of eligible voters would be easy if we made that checkbox an opt out and put it on more government paperwork (e.g. tax filings, Medicaid applications, public school student registration stuff, etc.), we just lack the political will to do it
This is the real best answer, I think. If they can put a check box in the driver's license application, they can spam it in a whole bunch of other spots.
Not everyone does taxes, either, but there are certainly way more automatic spots you could try to catch people. Between that and automatic mailed ballots, we could really increase voting.
I do also wish all states had open primaries. It seems really dumb that I have to link myself to a party that I dont like to try to select the least bad candidate.
