Mathematically they’re equivalent, but the feelings could not be further apart.

        Same with my state. Also with voter registration update reminders. Oregon really takes its voting seriously.

          Yeah, I changed to automatic registration after voters voted yes to voting. Now you have to explicitly state you don’t want to be registered if you don’t, and any drivers license or ID related paperwork automatically registers you or updates your registration as needed.

          Weirdly, passing a bunch of voter equity legislation initiated by the voters shortly resulted in a change in legislative makeup that better represented voters, and is weirdly more in favor of voting rights.
          Crazy how that works.
