Republicans have just suffered a major loss in the battleground state of Pennsylvania.
Democratic Governor of Pennsylvania Josh Shapiro has announced the state of Pennsylvania will have a “Registration Day.”
Shapiro shared in his announcement “I made a commitment when I was campaigning for this office that we would bring automatic voter registration to Pennsylvania and break down the barriers for legal eligible voters.”
Shapiro followed up by saying “This is a key step to make our elections more secure.”

Here’s what ABC reported:
Registration Day — that the state will now automatically register residents to vote while getting their driver’s license or state I.D.
“I made a commitment when I was campaigning for this office that we would bring automatic voter registration to Pennsylvania and break down the barriers for legal eligible voters,” Shapiro said in a video posted on social media.
“This is a key step to make our elections more secure,” he said.
Automatic voter registration (AVR) is the process by which people are automatically registered to vote as they enter their personal information into other government agencies, such as a Department of Motor Vehicles. Residents have the choice to opt out of being registered.
When I ran for Governor, I promised that I'd defend our democracy and secure our fundamental freedom to vote.
Today, I'm proud to announce that we brought automatic voter registration home to Pennsylvania — the birthplace of our democracy.https://t.co/yW5Fo4q57M
