There is no shortage of ways to improve our elections.

For instance, the system of registration currently used in New York and most other states makes it harder for millions of otherwise eligible Americans to register. Voters need to affirmatively sign up, and do so at certain times in order to cast a ballot in a primary or general election. Oregon (and, soon, others) makes it easier: The state signs up voters with drivers licenses, allowing them to opt out if they wish; thus, the burden is on the government, not the voter.
