“Hillary Clinton: Alabama remains front line of voting rights battle”

Hillary Clinton oped at Al.com:

First, Congress should put principle ahead of politics and pass the Voting Rights Advancement Act.  This bipartisan bill would restore the full protections of the Voting Rights Act.

Second, we should set a standard across this country of at least 20 days of early, in-person voting—including opportunities for weekend and evening voting.

Third, we should enact universal, automatic voter registration, so every young person in every state is automatically registered to vote when they turn 18, unless they opt out.  I applaud California for beginning to implement a similar approach last week.  More states should follow their lead.
