Good work on the same-day registration bill, Kirill. It would allow more folks to vote who otherwise aren't informed about the sometimes onerous and poorly publicized registration deadlines. The Gaithersburg City Council recently changed our registration from a month before an election to two weeks before, in the hopes that it will enable and encourage more citizens to vote (I preferred same-day, but this was the compromise). We hear a good number of stories about citizens who show up to the polls only to be told that their registration wasn't processed in time. And the data from states that already have same-day registration shows that it does not increase the risk of voter fraud. We should be making voting easier, not harder, for our constituents.
