Would a “national automatic voter registration” be just a wee bit Unconstitutional?

They just want to legalize what they’ve been doing illegally for years.

“Voting rights” — what an oxymoron when uttered by Democrats. They will maneuver to get every illegal vote possible to nullify millions of our votes.

Who looks after OUR voting rights? Nobody, that’s who

Did they add “murdering” babies to their platform?? Their Marxist Liberal cohorts in New York applaud doing so.

Notice how the first thing they go after is PROCESS, nothing to improve the lot of their supposed core constituency, unless you define improving “More Democrats”.

LAUGHABLE!. They plan to use the Easter Bunny to promote the bill... . . . If they actually did this the whole Dem Party would go to jail.

Recipe for mass-scale vote fraud.

they are allowed to kill the baby during the just- before -birth abortion.

How exactly are they going to do that??

I’ll wait outside and take the baby away - just tell me where and when.
