Technology = Democracy

A mobile app created in the last 3 weeks of AOC's campaign accounted for 12% of her voter turnout. Canvassers go to wherever people are gathered and match them to the voter registration list (as opposed to knocking on doors, making phone calls--things young people hate). Now being rolled out as a public benefit corporation, it will only be used in the campaigns of candidates who don’t accept corporate money.

Quote:
Already, five of the 2020 primary campaigns have contacted the company to express interest in the app.
Next, why isn't every state in the union using a vote-by-mail system? Automatic voter registration? Election day as a national holiday? What is the argument where making it easier to vote is a bad thing?
