I really believe in Hillary's idea of registering everyone to vote. One way to make it easier would be to make women have to register for the draft as well as men.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_Service_System
Most male U.S. citizens and male immigrant non-citizens between the ages of 18 and 25 are required by law to have registered within 30 days of their 18th birthdays[2][3] and must notify Selective Service within ten days of any changes to any of the information they provided on their registration cards, like a change of address.[4] A 2010 GAO report estimated the registration rate at 92% with the names and addresses of over 16.2 million men on file.[1][5]
