Einstein Medical Center Philadelphia installed online voter registration kiosks in its emergency department this month to help boost the number of registered voters in the state, reports Philly Mag.
Hospital patients, visitors or employees can use the kiosks to check their registration status and register to vote.
At present, about 12 percent of eligible voters in Pennsylvania are not registered to vote. Many of these individuals come from underserved populations and often face various socioeconomic challenges that are directly affected by public policy. As a result of these challenges, many unregistered voters end up in Einstein Medical Center's ED.
The kiosks are part of an initiative called VotER, which was first launched at Boston-based Massachusetts General Hospital last year. The initiative stems from a partnership between the hospital, Cambridge-based Harvard Kennedy School, a nonprofit called Turbovote and the behavioral sciences company Ideas42.
So far, Einstein Medical Center is among only a handful of hospitals in the country to install the kiosks.

I worked in a big city ER for years. Our hospital was world famous but was located in a slum area so,as a result,we had affluent patients from the suburbs (and around the world) as well as slum residents,most of whom were welfare recipients and many of whom were illegals.
Ten bucks says this ER has a very similar profile.
So it's pretty obvious what can go wrong...particularly in a large swing state like PA.

They could’ve spent that money on medicines or staff. Just another vote buying scheme.

Exactly. Welfare types...and illegals...see hospital ERs as walk in clinics that never close.
And never ask for money.

If an illegal gets an emergency heart transplant, can the vote the wishes of the heart? How about a kidney, or a liver?

That’s ok if the patient is unconscious or recently deceased. They’ll sign him up anyway.

Perfect! If you’re badly injured and might die, sign up right away and don’t forget to tell those close to you.

My God,they are pulling out all to get votes for 2020. Our side is always slow to react. We may get blind sided overall in 2020.

Better than that
Mr. Jackson. You’ve been shot in the gut and bleeding out. There are 2 surgeries I can perform. 1. Might help you live at 30% chance. Or 2. Vote Democrap right now in an absentee vote and your chances go up to 75%
