I am so confused as to why this is a separate product from https://www.vote.org/.

Voteplz.org even instills less confidence—sounds like a single-serving website, glad they're communicating these ideas, but its conflict with the YC-funded project makes me believe both are more likely to fail because of split mindshare.

Which is incredibly ironic, when you consider that one of the most fundamental problems with the US's voting system is the spoiler effect (where similar parties bring each other down by splitting voters).

How is this splitting voters if you have more than one place to register? That's like saying having multiple DMVs in a state would make it harder for people to get a driver's license
