10 Million

Recently released data from Vote4America indicates 10 million hunters and gun owners in the United States are not registered to vote. The figures, according to a New York Post article, “…show that if Republicans don’t address political apathy among their gun-owning base in key swing states, they’ll have far fewer voters in their arsenal to score victories this November.”

States with the most sportsmen not yet registered to vote in the upcoming Presidential election include Pennsylvania, with 515,277 and roughly a half million each in Georgia, Michigan, Missouri, North Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin. The states with the fewest number of unregistered sportsmen and women are Arizona at 133,000, Nevada with 59,173 and Montana, 52,233.

Election Day falls during the height of hunting seasons in many states, but sportsmen who act fast can qualify to cast their ballots absentee when they can’t make it to the polls. The Vote4America website offers a number of convenient links to register, check registration and more. It’s free and using its resources doesn’t require enrolling in another mailing list. Agreeing to its “terms of service,” however, is.

Simply visit the Vote4America home page and enter your name and address. Date of birth, e-mail address and phone number are optional, a nice touch for those of us worried about privacy. When that information is submitted, users are automatically directed to their respective state’s voting services and links.  

Vote4America doesn’t bill itself as having any party affiliation. The organization explains on its website that, “We are the many, who want to make America feel like home again. We are hunters, veterans, cops, moms, dads, friends and neighbors, who believe America would be better if the silent majority stood up against the insanity; and know that the most important thing we can do together is to participate in this election.”
