I wonder if CA is the only state to send out these voter registration forms to Obamacare-applicants ...

And if yes, why is the federal government not implementing the same thing, or at least all the states controlled by Democrats ?

I mean, I'm pretty sure the Republican-governed states would be opposed, because the biggest fear of the Republicans is that every eligible citizen in the US gets the chance to vote ...

I've heard prior discussion about this, but I don't know all of the states that are doing it. One somewhat red state is doing it:

Well, good.

But if you look at my voter turnout chart once again, KY has already registered 92% of its eligible voters.

Of course, the closer to 100%, the better.

But an effort like this would be more needed in states like AZ or OR for example, where only 70-80% of eligible citizens are currently registered to vote.

Or in Texas where 3 million eligible people are currently unregistered.

Or Georgia, where 700,000 African-American adults are currently unregistered, in addition to an estimated 300,000 Latinos and Asians, plus an estimated 550,000 Democratic whites. In the third-worst state on your list, it just got a heck of a lot easier.
