This would have made the ACA even sweeter

Had a thought- What if when you signed up on the health exchanges you also had an opportunity to get registered to vote?

I know it would not have been practical. But I hope these folks getting insurance are voting in 2014 (and next month in VA).

1. Shhh...

The Tea Party would hate this if it included voter registration.

2. I think some states were going to do this? California?

Anyway, there is some law that says voter registration SHOULD be offered through programs like this and the DMV, but I don't know if the GOP successfully stripped that part out.

3. All but 6

The requirements of the NVRA apply to 44 States and the District of Columbia. Six States (Idaho, Minnesota, New Hampshire, North Dakota, Wisconsin, and Wyoming are exempt from the NVRA because, on and after August 1, 1994, they either had no voter-registration requirements or had election-day voter registration at polling places with respect to elections for federal office. Likewise, the territories are not covered by the NVRA (Puerto Rico, Guam, Virgin Islands, American Samoa). While the NVRA applies to elections for federal office, States have extended its procedures to all elections.
