Missouri's republican-led senate is considering legislation that would make voting in the state even more difficult. Meanwhile, several states have passed a common-sense law that would facilitate voter registration by automatically registering citizens as they sign up for a common form of ID.
On Thursday, April 28, 2016, Vermont became the fourth state to offer automatic voter registration. The policy will simplify voter registration by automatically registering citizens to vote when they sign up for a driver's license or state-issued ID.
President Obama has been pushing for automatic voter registration in all states, believing it would make voting easier and remove barriers to access. He says, "Democrats, Republicans, independents, seniors, folks with disabilities, the men and women of our military – it would make sure that it was easier for them to vote and have their vote counted." So far, only four states -- Vermont, California, Oregon and West Virginia -- have implemented the common-sense policy.
No matter what political party you subscribe to, it is in the country's best interest to facilitate voting for all U.S. citizens. Please sign the petition to urge Missouri legislators to support automatic voter registration!
