The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Automatically registering voters if they interact with a government agency (57%) - Lapsody

>>Your eligibility to vote is unrelated to the government agencies you come into contact with - me<<

You are an absolute waster of money Mike. Here in Florida, when you get your driver's license, you are automatically registered to vote. You have to bring your qualifications with you and they are listed on the internet. So when you interact to get or renew your driver's license, you are also interacting about your voter registration. - Lapsody


-------------

In you original text you refer to government agencies generically, suggesting all of them. I replied with that context in mind, thinking a health inspector encountering a bunch of potentially undocumented immigrants working in a restaurant is a government interaction but that is not the venue where an opportunity for voter registration should be presented.

Now you are restricting the encounter to a drivers license office where and application with documents must be presented and verified. I would agree with that but that was not your original assertion.
