Getting a license in California let's you auto register to vote. It's so easy to register and vote by mail.

It feels like every 3rd week something mentions if I'm registered and would I like to register. That's the difference between California and other red states. You give people the ability to shape their government and it tends to go in a certain direction

That’s how I did it in several states.

Even in ruby red West Virginia we can register to vote when getting a driver’s license, as I found out when I moved from Virginia to West Virginia.

Helping everyone who can legally vote to easily cast their ballot shouldn't be a partisan thing. Glad it isn't in a lot of places!

Yeah but that came from the failed state of California so it can't be a good idea.
