I'm going to bravely buck my own nature and actually be happy about these special election results.

In Az you can register to vote online at the DMV website so you don't even have to go anywhere. I'm sure the AZ repubs will take that away any day now.

I live in Florida. My 17-year old daughter is already registered and gung-ho to vote against Trump or DeSantis or Ramaswamy or whomever next year.

If pre-registration is good enough to even pass our governor's muster, it is good enough to be implemented everywhere.

Automatic registration? Why that's practically unamerican. If you don't count all the places in the US that already have automatic registration, that is.

And while we're enjoying our visit to Pa., it's a pleasure to note John's feeling much better:

Just applied for my absentee ballot!

Still, and all, NY needs to get with universal mail in ballots. This state is mind numbingly backwards and corrupt.

The greatest voter fraud the devil ever pulled off was allowing legal voters to vote.

Friend Don’t Let Friends Skip Elections!

Today is National Voter Registration Day and #RegisterAFriendDay is helping with that.

People can text FRIENDS to 26797 to make sure they are registered to vote. Pass it on!

OT: The geniuses running the university have decided to phase out personal office printers and make everyone print to the main office printer--each page will cost the department 0.5 cents, paid to the printer vendor, which seems excessive.

Frankly, I would make listing the default setting and put everyone on the voter rolls when they are born here or are naturalized. Citizen? OK - listed.

When they reach the age to vote they would have to affirm that they are still legally able to do so and could then pick a party.

Thanks, PAB, for choosing Mastriano to run as the repub candidate. PA voters had an easy choice and they put this good man in office.

Florida is NOT on this list. I don't get it. When I got a driver's license in Florida nine years ago they asked me if I wanted to register to vote. Maybe "automatic:" is a key word here?

I really don't understand why this isn't framed in more rah rah patriotic way the way Republicans have done *voter restrictions* for ages.
