I don’t get why we don’t reach out to everyone about the importance of registering to vote on their birthday. We already send out papers for selective service. If the people fail to register they should get another mailer the very next year.. and on and on until they register.

able to vote. Rub it in their faces. Make them ache to turn 18 and defy the ban, the same way they felt about driving and drinking and all those other things adults inadvertently rubbed in their faces when they were kids.

As far as I know, that's the only thing that will consistently motivate most young people to do something.
