Elie Mystal\u00a0was on “Morning Joe”\u00a0talking about voter registration\u00a0laws. Mystal\u00a0called for the elimination of voter registration laws as part of a move to protect voters rights.\u00a0Instead, once an individual reaches\u00a0voting age, they automatically are able to vote during an election without needing to first register to vote. Mystal used the 1780s as an example, and argued that the voter registration laws were implemented to mitigate the addition of Blacks to the electorate.<\/p>\n

“We could eliminate all voter registration laws. You see, when Democrats get in charge we try to protect voting rights. We don’t make voting easier. Now I’m all for voter eligibility requirements, we might disagree with what those requirements should be. But let’s say that there should be an age limit to vote, I might say 16, you might say 18, but I’m not gonna say 8. So we’re gonna agree that there should be voter eligibility requirements, but once you’re eligible, why do you have to preregister? Why is that even a thing?” Mystal said.<\/p>\n

“It wasn’t a thing in this country at the founding, we didn’t have voter preregistration in 1787, we didn’t have voter preregistration in 1821, we only started having voter registration generally speaking after the Civil War,” Mystal continued. “Why do you think that is? It’s because a bunch of freed African slaves were migrating up north and all of a sudden New York was like ‘we need some registration up in here.’ A bunch of immigrants from Europe, [from] Ireland and Italy were coming to New York, people were like ‘oh, we need some registration in here.'”<\/p>\n

As the population rapidly expanded, U.S. states largely adopted voter registration requirements between the 1870s and World War I due to the increasing need to prevent fraud, confusion and conflicts during elections, according to the Institute for Rapid Government.<\/p>\n

Mystal appeared to blame voter registration laws for former Vice President Kamala Harris’ loss in the 2024 election, claiming millions of eligible voters did not show up because they were not registered.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
