"February we had a net 7,000 new registrations. And in March we had a net 500 new registrations," said Adams, a Republican. In April, the state's voter rolls shrank by more than 1,000.
Kentucky is hardly alone. Virginia saw 73% fewer registrations last month than it did four years ago. Officials said one reason is the shutdown of Department of Motor Vehicle offices, where voters routinely register. North Carolina had a similar decline and has expanded online registration to pick up some of the slack.Political parties, which often take an outsize role in registering new voters, have also adjusted.
Dickey thinks the pandemic has probably had more impact on some of the party's other activities."It was our plan to be doing all of our voter persuasion and voter turnout efforts in person," he said. They're now doing it over the phone. "We're having an avalanche of people come to us," as a result of groups ditching their in-person campaigns, said Vote.org CEO Andrea Hailey.
"We used to point people to a library if you didn't have a printer, and say go to your nearest library, get them to print it out, but you know libraries are closed right now," she said.
Here in NC you can register online via the DMV. It was quick and easy and I got my voter registration card within a couple of weeks. Highly recommend it.
Я верю в лучшее
No excuse, just get on your phone and call the county clerk's office. Ask if a registration card can be sent to your address, fill it out and return it to your clerk. The information required is on that form.
I don’t get why people aren’t automatically registered. That’s how my state does it and it’s great. You just got to vote and that’s it.
More excuses from the libs. I’ve never seen so many several months out from losing. Odd.
Register and vote by mail.🤷🏼♂️
Walter Estrada just said he stay in his office on Center St at night so his wife doesn't know he talks to me all the time and threatens me all the time to stop me from pressing charges for rape and cyber stalking me.
I heard you have to be black to vote for Biden. Is that really true? Sounds racist to me.
Remember that the democrats will do anything to steal this election and keep this country shuttered since that is the last thing they have to keep President Trump from being re-elected.
Of 84+ million mail-in ballots sent out in 2016 & 2018: —Roughly 750K were rejected —Over 1.5 million were undeliverable —16.5 million went missing completely What could possibly go wrong increasing mail-in ballots?
Online registration and mail in ballots.
Ya it's either that or, hear me out, Biden doesn't excite anyone to register to vote
It's your civic duty to vote
The overhyping of the Chinese virus has been a disaster for DemoKKKrats
Sounds like another Democratic pipe dream. Well...and least you'll have the pandemic and not Russia to blame when you lose this time.
This is why my household has committed to writing 500 postcards to MI voters in MI! ToVoters
We can’t afford to let this slow down voter registration! Reaching out to new voters will be key this year. People are disgusted with Trump; let’s make it easier for them to voice their anger with their vote. Volunteer at your local Dem Party to help get out the vote. GOTV
Over hot coals everyone.
