Every eligible Californian would be automatically registered to vote under legislation Secretary of State Alex Padilla is exploring.

“If government knows who’s here, who’s 18, who’s a citizen, why go through hoops?” Padilla said in an interview. “Let’s just register folks automatically.”

why go through hoops?

Yeah why go through the hoops? Automatic registration, automatic party affiliation, automatic voting.

Automatic Voter?

One pull of the lever (D of course) and the votes count to infinity.

Heck, just pass out voter ballots at the local marijuana outlet with prepaid postage.

why go through hoops?
Like all of the hoops Americans have gone through to fight and die to create and protect the right to vote. If you are too stupid or too lazy to vote it's probably for the greater good.

Yep, you know the automatic voting is preordained, outcome assured. The whole point of this.

As if the cesspool Califonia has become is in any danger of not voting democrat.

Your registration would have to be renewed each year to make this system to work.

A voter registration would be proof of citizenship.
