New voters

There are a lots of new voters registering around the country. This is good news, since the more people are involved in democracy the better it gets, but it is especially good news that lots of new voters are in urban, Democratic areas. Central urban cities vote in numbers far below suburbs, so this is a good sign. Now the task is to get voters to the polls.

Reading these stories makes me glad that I live in a state with same-day registration. Being able to bring new voters to the polls and have them register and vote that day is democracy at its best. It shouldn't be any other way.
