    Biden’s previous attempts to expand Medicaid voter registration

    Please read the article if you’re going to comment, the whole thing is about how there have not been any efforts like that in spite of state governments begging for them

    The GOP legal action you’re thinking of was against an executive order Biden issued telling federal agencies to look at what they could do to support voter registration and report back to him and to make sure their websites were up to fate, but that was the end of it. He has not made attempts to establish Medicaid voter registration, he won’t even commit to being in favor of it.

    Asked whether Biden supports these automatic voter registration proposals, the White House’s press office referred NPR’s questions to CMS’ parent agency, the Department of Health and Human Services.

    … In a statement to NPR, Sara Lonardo, a spokesperson for HHS, said that “CMS continues to actively explore” adding the question in time for the next open enrollment period, which begins on Nov. 1, four days before the last day of voting for this year’s general elections.
