I'm probably in the minority here, but I actually think motor voter is a <I>bad</I> idea. I think it should be <I>more</I> difficult to register, not easier. When everyone is registered you end up with more people who have no clue voting, and that's bad. I'm not advocating one candidate or another here, I'm just saying there's more to being politically active than pushing a button. You need to read up, understand the issues, and THEN vote.
A friend of mine once said "it would be great if issues just scrolled across your TV and you voted with your remote control." That was the scariest thing I had ever heard at the time.
Get educated. THEN go vote.
