5. Every person born in America should be automatically

registered to vote at age 18. It's a birthright. Voter registration should be as local as possible and as easy as possible.. you know, as easy as buying a killer assault rifle or bringing children into the world.
As a white woman, I've never experienced any problem voting and that's how it should be across the board.

Of course it works, it works to keep Democrats and liberals from voting. fasttense Jul 2016 #1
