IL House & Senate pass same-day registration, Quinn to sign it

[greenforest32]

Is it possible for a state to make voting mandatory? That would be a shake-up.

It would also likely result in political backlash and a constitutional challenge.

Democrats have no excuse for not passing automatic voter registration. They'll be trying again in Oregon next year* but why are we the first? Why are CA/MA/MD/VT/RI/etc sitting on their ass? This is a strange issue to be timid and ineffective about.
