Trump blasts Gov. Shapiro for Pennsylvania's new automatic voter registration

• Shapiro's spokesperson Manuel Bonder told Axios in a statement that Trump's "obsession with spreading lies about our elections is dangerous."
• "It is abundantly clear this commonsense, nonpartisan step to securely streamline voter registration and enhance election security is within the Governor's executive authority," he added.

Catch up quick: Shapiro implemented the policy change last week, sidestepping the legislative process in a move that drew pushback from Republican legislators, Axios' Mike D'Onofrio reports.

• The policy is expected to boost the number of registered voters in the critical swing state ahead of elections this November and next year.

Zoom out: 23 other states, and Washington D.C., already have some version of automatic voter registration.

• The process allows eligible individuals to be automatically registered to vote when interacting with certain government agencies, like when getting a driver's license or state ID card.
