Step 1: have no population?

I love the sentiment, but North Dakota has a population of about 780k. Florida has a population of 21.5 million. California tops the charts at 39.5 million.

I like the idea of opt-out automatic voter registration. The big issue is the auditing of the voter rolls in larger states, or even the larger metropolitan areas. In so many cases, we've seen the weak link be tired and apathetic humans in the chain. The fix is robust computer systems (AI) and we've seen we can't trust them either.
