Almost 40,000 people registered to vote in the 48 hours after President Biden announced he was suspending his reelection campaign and endorsing Vice President Harris, Vote.org said.

Vote.org said 38,500 new voters registered, representing the largest number of registrations in a 48-hour period this election cycle.

Of the new voter registrations, 83 percent were from people aged 18-34, according to the voting registration nonprofit group.

    North Carolina here. Voter registration is done automatically when you renew your vehicle registration.

      That’s some hippie bullshit. You should have to stand in line for 8 hours just to get told “come back next Wednesday” like a real American.

      I get texts and emails about the comings and goings of my ballots as it makes its way via usps. I can’t even remember when the last time I had to make sure I was registered. But like you I think it was when I got my plates, or maybe my drivers license. Colorado is far ahead of its time… like they WANT me to vote with minimum effort.

        Washington State here. The option to get a text when your ballot is returned and then accepted is fantastic
