DescriptionThe recipe for higher voter turnout in the 2012 election was simple: take same-day voter registration, mix thoroughly with swing-state status.

Seven of the 10 states with the highest turnout in 2012 had one of those two factors or both, according to a report released Monday by Nonprofit VOTE.
