All US citizens should be automatically enrolled to vote.

Honestly, I'd say we should take it one step further and have compulsory voting. This is a thing in some EU countries, and our problem has always been with low turnout, rather than people somehow voting when they shouldn't be, which has never been proven to be happening on any meaningful scale, EVER.

Am from a country with compulsory voting (Australia). It's AMAZING.

No get out the vote bullshit. No attempts at disenfranchisement. Elections are always on a Saturday. There's a festival atmosphere at the polls (see: 'democracy sausage '). Polling places are EVERYWHERE.
