he Obama administration is doing so little to help people register to vote when they sign up for the Affordable Care Act that it’s violating the law, good-government groups are charging.
Team Obama’s hands-off approach to registering voters through the health care law, or ACA, comes after Republicans—afraid of masses of low-income Americans registering—pressed the administration to soft-pedal the requirement.
In a letter sent Wednesday to President Obama, leaders of Demos and Project Vote claimed the application process for ACA benefits violates the 1993 National Voter Registration Act (NVRA).
