3 states that automatically sent mail ballots to all registered voters in 2022 midterms (Colorado, Oregon, and Washington) were among the top 7 states with the highest youth turnout.

2 other #voteathome states (Vermont and Nevada) ranked in the top 15.

Youth turnout ranged from as high as 37% in some states to as low as 13% in others.

Many of the states with high youth voter turnout in the 2022 midterm elections had strong policies that make it easier to register and vote.

2/
In contrast, some states with low 2022 youth turnout are notable for their lack of facilitative voting and registration policies — Tennessee (13%), Alabama (15%), and Oklahoma (15%).

Automatic voter registration for eligible voters and updates via the @USPS change of address database offers convenience for voters and eliminates deadline issues.

Yesterday, we saw a surprising number of false and misleading claims about the #ForThePeopleAct by members of the Senate. In this thread, we are going to fact-check some of the disinformation perpetrated by elected leaders in the Senate.⬇️
Claim: “The Corrupt Politicians Act'' would also automatically register to vote anyone who comes in contact with the government….”

Fact: This is FALSE. Automatic voter registration was proposed in S.1. but only US citizens would qualify.
Automatic Voter Registration would work in conjunction with @USPS to update data such as address change and eliminate deadline pressures for voters.
