As many people have stated it will not really increase voting
significantly.  The reasons for this could be general distaste for
the parties (Little effect), general apathy or satisfaction with
their situation (High probability).

In D.C., we have had voter registration for new licenses for a while.
I did it when I moved here and found it very easy.  I have not voted
yet since no election has happened.  But i cant wait for the mayorial
election so I can vote against the Democrats in a hopeless gesture of
defiance of this corrupted party.

If you hadn't here, Good old marion "I have a drinking problem" barry is
considering returning full time to his job and possibly running again!

AHHHHHHHHHH!
