Everyone who goes to the DMV to get a new or renewed driver's license will be automatically registered to vote, unless the individual chooses to opt out, the governor said.
I’m for it. Pre-Trump and all the recent GOP voter blocking nonsense, I was automatically purged from Florida’s rolls for not having voted recently enough? Something like that.
Aye, last year a poll worker started about my license not matching my voting address. I’d heard shenans were to be expected so I plopped my voter registration poll card down and she stfu.
The result? I am now trained and going to work the polls.
What did I learn in training? She was wrong wrong wrong wrong and what she did was harassment.
But you know what? That’s OK, bc now I’m showing up, maybe I’ll get to sit next to her this year and turn her in.
See that’s what I’m talking about. If you didn’t vote recently then you probably don’t really care about it and should have to go re-register to prove that you’re really committed to democracy before being able to vote again. That’s how we make sure only the real democracy cherishers can vote, and that’s how we defeat authoritarian demagogues.
