NEW YORK—(ENEWSPF)—January 3, 2016. As of this weekend, new laws going into effect in Oregon and California mean that residents there will be automatically registered to vote when they get a driver’s license. In her campaign, Hillary Clinton has called for universal voter registration, where every citizen in every state in the union would be automatically registered to vote when they turn 18 – unless they actively choose to opt out. Clinton rolled out her comprehensive vision for how to expand access to the ballot box for all Americans and how to defend against Republican assaults on voting rights during a speech in Houston, Texas, early in this campaign.
