Chris Paul has made voter registration a big part of his “platform”, the Milwaukee Bucks also mentioned voting as a part of their team statement. In support of the players’ calls to action, is there any interest in helping to organize some sort of voter registration drive for members of this sub?
Hey all! As many of you should be aware of, one of the main initiatives that many players and organizations in the NBA are supporting "Get Out the Vote" and voter registration efforts. Today is National Voter Registration Day, and we wanted to support the goals that many players and teams have set.
To encourage people to register to vote and actually vote, we've collected a number of resources to help people register to vote, find their polling locations, volunteer as a poll worker, and more.
Once you're registered to vote, or if you have already registered to vote, we have a new flair for you to show off! The more people we can get to change flairs, we may have some rewards lined up, with details to be announced later. We hope that having more people flair up will encourage even more people to register to vote

Yeah, I'm serious.
I don't see another way around it. We need to go out and find unregistered voters and get them voting.
We need to get them voting for our candidates. At this point, if they're sane Republicans, get them signed up.
We need to expand the voter pool to dilute the motivated crazy.
Thoughts?
