Most Americans oppose the GOP’s anti-democracy agenda. New polling from data analytics company Civis Analytics, obtained exclusively by The Outline, shows the impact of these policies. Civis polled voting rights reforms in all 22 states with a ballot-initiative process to test whether progressives could use direct democracy to protect the right to vote. Data suggest that this method would indeed be successful. For instance, the average two-way support (excluding undecideds) for automatic voter registration (AVR) — which places the burden of registration on government rather than individuals — is 59 percent among registered voters. AVR is proven to increase voter turnout, especially among young people, people of color and low-income people. According to Civis, there are 20 states that allow ballot initiatives in which AVR polls above 50 percent.
