Hillary Clinton calls for automatic, universal voter registration

Hillary Clinton on Thursday blasted Republican leaders for “fear-mongering” about election fraud, pushed for expansion of early voting rights and called for universal, automatic voter registration for every citizen once they turn 18, unless they choose otherwise.

Clinton used a speech at the historically black Texas Southern University to criticize voting restrictions in North Carolina, Texas, Florida and Wisconsin, and urged states to adopt a national standard of no fewer than 20 days of early in-person voting, including opportunities for weekend and evening voting.
