Democrats have long been complaining that registering to vote is too difficult — so difficult, in fact, that they have begun charging anyone opposed to changing the system with supporting “voter suppression.” It’s a non-problem that the 1993 “Motor Voter Law” was supposed to have solved, especially among young people, by allowing prospective voters to register when they visited the DMV to obtain or renew a driver’s license.
Californians soon will be automatically registered to vote at the DMV http://t.co/Oyh9ksH6Vm

That’s still too difficult. That’s why California Gov. Jerry Brown today signed the “New Motor Voter Act” into law today. The fundamental difference is that anyone obtaining or renewing a driver’s license is registered to vote automatically without having to fill out a separate form. Those who don’t wish to be registered must opt out.
@latimes the workers at the DMV fill out the party affiliation for you. I'm sure they would check the D & never check the R. Nutty moonbeam!

A big fan of the legislation is Hillary Clinton, who herself proposed “universal, automatic voter registration” for “every citizen in every state in the union.”
Thank you, @JerryBrownGov. Every state should follow your lead and make it easier to vote.https://t.co/HWarCEXN8B

@HillaryClinton @JerryBrownGov If you are not smart enough to figure out how and where to register to vote you have no business voting.

@HillaryClinton @JerryBrownGov @latimes let's hope that they keep up to date records this time. Don't need dead people registered to vote

@HillaryClinton @JerryBrownGov Does this mean non-U.S. citizens (being given driver's licences) to be voting on U.S. policies/elections?

@HillaryClinton @JerryBrownGov @latimes Easier to vote, in other words easier to cheat.
