Why Hillary Clinton is pushing for electoral Reform?

While delivering her electoral address at Texas Southern University last week, Hillary Clinton vehemently supported for new initiatives and provocative ideas for enhancing USAs electoral process. She wants Congress to find solution on the part of the Voting Rights Act that the Supreme Court of USA devastated in 2013. She needs to enlarge early voting periods countrywide to at least twenty days. And most challengingly, she supports the idea automatic universal voter registration across the nation, including a program to mechanically register high school students to vote before their eighteenth birthdays.

Before Shelby County in 2013,minority impacting voting laws could not take into effect unless these jurisdictions demonstrated that the changes would not make minority voters tougher—something Texas could not demonstrate and North Carolina likely would have failed to demonstrate had it been put to the test As the Supreme Court of USA , in 2013 in its Shelby County decision which facilitated jurisdictions with a history of racial discrimination in voting, such as North Carolina and Texas  , which have passed or put into place new restrictive voting rules. Early voting, particularly in-person voting, can be done in ways that both make voting more flexible and take the pressure off the polls on Election Day, assuring that many more people who want to cast their vote can register their votes. Mrs Hillary Clinton have been pushing for automatic voter registration for a long time—she advocated for it in a 2008 Slate piece—as a way of both easing the greatest barrier to voting and rationalizing and reducing fraud in our election system by having national, single voter-registration identification numbers that people would keep their entire voting lives.

Clinton’s political strategy is going to focus less on convincing undecided voters and more on getting voters who support her to get to the polls and vote.

It is to be recalled how Republicans and Democrats have come together in many places  earlier to support online voter registration, a mega leap to assist the convenience of voters who are either fresh or who have relocated since last voting.
