Motor Voters: Oregon Adopts Automatic Voter Registration

Plenty of states have been making it tougher to vote,�with photo�ID�requirements. But Oregon is going in the opposite direction, and automatically registering voters.

FOX News Radio’s Jill Nado reports:

Oregon sends mail-in ballots to all its voters. And now it’s going to be sending out even more, thanks to the newly enacted motor-voter law. Anyone who’s been to a Driver and Motor Vehicle Services office since 2013 is going to get a ballot in the mail,�without having to register to vote.

Democratic Governor Kate Brown:

(Brown) “Virtually every Oregonian will be able to have their voice be heard.”

Some Republicans turned thumbs down on the idea,�saying registering to vote should be a voluntary act,�not an automatic one. About 300,000 new voters are expected to be added to the rolls.
