Designate All Federal Agencies as NVRA Agencies

Draft and sign an Executive Order to designate all federal agencies as National Voter Registration Act (NVRA, aka the "Motor Voter Act") agencies for purposes of voter registration. This is a power allowed under the letter of the law.

Why is this important?

1) To reduce the work needed for third party organizations to register voters;
2) To greatly increase the number of voters in this country;
3) To expand upon the goals of the National Voter Registration Act;
4) To overcome the hurdles set in place by petty state governments;
5) To allow popular agencies, including USCIS, VA, DOD, DHS, SSA, Interior, etc, to register voters under the laws of their respective states.

Thanks to everyone who signed this petition. While we didn't get too many signatures, we did see some tremendous action from the Biden administration on NVRA designation on the 56th anniversary of Bloody Sunday.
