Would Automatic Voter Registration, like in Oregon and California, Doom the Republican Party? [View all]

Oregon and California have now made voter registration automatic. Your state is 100% capable of easily taking the same step. With automatic registration for voting — an opt-out option instead of “jump through hoops to register,” as required in many states — nobody is required to vote or even be registered. Rather, a government that already knows who we are through motor vehicle and other departments simply allows us to vote. (And the DMV in many states requires stricter proof of identity and citizenship than does traditional registration; and traditional registration remains available.)

Would this make a huge difference? I think so.
