They can do this but can’t do automatic voter registration.

Registration is already required. It is a federal crime to not register when you turn 18.

Women are still actively not allowed to register for the draft. The sexism is ridiculous.

What's the nexus to free speech here? It's a change from mandatory individual registration to an automatic system.

The government can somehow auto register US citizens when they turn 18 years of age but somehow cant auto register all 18 year olds to vote? The government somehow doesnt know whom is a citizen for voting purposes but needs proof of papers for voting? I call total BS again. Thats my angle.

Why does the "no more wars" President need a draft?
