Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro’s administration said starting Tuesday it is making it easier for someone to register to vote when they are getting or renewing a driver’s license in the state.

Under the new format, prompts on the computer screens in driver’s license centers will take the user to a template to register to vote. That leaves it up to them to choose not to register. Previously, prompts on the computer screen first asked the user whether they wanted to register to vote.

    The federal government isn’t in charge of elections, your state and county are. There is zero reason that you shouldn’t automatically be registered to vote whenever you get a driver’s license or register for any sort of ID

      that’s uhhh…my point? sort of. the constitution requires no ID. and in general no federal, state, county, or municipal authority provides ID. which makes any requirements unconstitutional.

          He meant automatically issued id. You can ask for various forms of identification documents, but you arent given one just for living somewhere.
