“New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slammed a voter registration method as a political ploy this week while speaking in Illinois.

“Same-day registration, all of sudden, this year comes to Illinois. Shocking. It’s shocking. I’m sure it was all based on public policy, good public policy to get same-day registration here in Illinois just this year when the governor is in the toilet and needs as much help as he can get,” Christie said Monday, according to The Chicago Tribune. He was campaigning for Republican Bruce Rauner, who is challenging Illinois’ Democratic Gov. Pat Quinn this November. Christie chairs the Republican Governors Association.

Same-day voter registration is one of the more effective voter registration methods. It allows eligible voters to register to vote and cast their ballots all in one day.
