So far 6 states Idaho, Maine, Minnesota, New Hampshire, Wisconsin and Wyoming have access to the wide-reaching benefits of EDR.
Those benefits are:
1) Higher voter turnout at elections. The nation average is 5 out of 10 people vote. In states with ERD the turnout is much higher 7 out of 10 registered voters vote.
2) More people preregister. Since there is a larger turnout in past elections, more eligible voters are already registered on election day.
3) Registration mistakes by public agencies can be worked out on election day. No one who should be registered but isn't due to mistakes by public agencies are turned away.
4) Far more likely to get young voters to vote.
5) No evidence of increased fraud in any state that has election day registration.
What do you think? Should all states have election day registration?
