How To Add 62 Million Voters

Connie Razza, Center for Popular Democracy joins Thom. The United States has one of the lowest recorded rates of voter participation in the entire world.

The situation is so bad that one study ranked America 120th out of a possible 169 countries in terms of getting out the vote. Luckily - though - there is a solution - and it's called automatic voter registration. The Big Picture LIVE from D.C. starting at 7pm eastern http://rt.com/on-air/rt-america-air & http://FSTV.org
