Maryland on Thursday became the 11th state to adopt automatic voter registration, legalizing a system that adds residents to voter rolls when they interact with various state offices.
Republican Gov. Larry Hogan allowed the bill to become law without his signature; it takes effect in July 2019.
Ten other states and the District of Columbia automatically register qualified voters when they get an ID through their departments of motor vehicles. People must opt out of registering to vote, rather than needing to check a box saying they would like to register.
Maryland’s law is broader than most, as people who receive social services from the state or buy insurance on the health exchange will also be added to voter rolls.
Washington state also recently adopted automatic voter registration as part of a broad voting rights package that also included pre-registration of 16- and 17-year-olds and Election Day registration.

Politians not being responsible. MD has became a sanctuary State. This is another move for these Liberal leaders in Annapolis is to create voter fraud and illegal voting. Only US citizens have the right to vote in our elections They have the nerve to accuse President Trump for allowing Russians to interfere in our elections. This is another example of Democrats taking steps to fix / rig the elections.
ReplyDeleteSo States are aiding and abetting in criminal activity. IE registering non citizens to vote. Time to criminally charge a certain AG and maybe all workers at State offices that sign up non citizens to vote.

Huh?
Automatic voter registration ensures illegal voting. Those "automatically registered" voters will always cast votes for the democrats, whether they ever see the inside of a polling facility, or not.

Yes, but only if you're a democrat or an illegal immigrant.
