Minnesota enacts automatic voter registration, penalties for election misinformation
[wctrib] The changes to state election law will help Minnesota remain a leader in voter participation, say Democratic-Farmer-Labor governor and lawmakers.

Minnesota's next statewide election is in 2024. Under the new law, applications for the following would result in automatic voter registration:

  • New or renewed driver's license or state identification card

  • Initial or renewal application for MinnesotaCare or Medical Assistance

  • Application for benefits or services to another participating agency

Automatic registration would mean about 450,000 added or updated voter registrations per year, according to the Secretary of State's Office. There are more than 3.5 registered voters in Minnesota.

The bill DFLers call the "Democracy for the People Act" also creates new penalties for election misinformation and interfering with poll workers.

Spreading false information about voting 60 days before an election and harassing or intimidating election officials or voters would be a gross misdemeanor.
Automatic voter registration when applying for a drivers license and they've already passed a law making illegals eligible for a DL... oh and did I mention making "disinformation" (AKA anything the state disagrees with) a crime. Welcome to Minnesota, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the DFL.
