New Jersey is the newest state to have automatic voter registration, which is a system in which every adult citizen known by the government to exist is automatically registered, unless the individual declines. The New Jersey bill, AB 2014, was signed on April 17.
The other states are Alaska, California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and West Virginia; also the District of Columbia has it. Petition validity is significantly higher in states with automatic voter registration.
ANY database of folks who do NOT want to be registered
— esp in the de facto ONE party regimes — CA, MD, RI, DC ???
See nazi and commie lands in 1930s.
Washington will not use AVR for ordinary driver’s licensees because they do not verify US Citizenship.
The US should issue ID cards to all adult citizens. When someone changes address this would be reported to the state election officials.
Does anyone know how this trend began?
Yes, what could go wrong with having everyone registered with the federal government in order to participate in politics.

@BL, States could continue to register voters the old-fashioned way by going to the courthouse and showing proof of citizenship.

LAWLESS communist Donkeys WANT more and more communist illegal invader folks to become registered electors —

Ballot access quotas must be ground into the dirt.
I approve. AVR does help encourage voter turnout.
