?itok=T7NpO7ZZ

Voter registration and mail-in ballot requests spiked in the days following the death of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, according to a report by NBC News.

Nonpartisan site Vote.org tells NBC News that it saw a surge of requests the weekend following Ginsburg's death, with 139,046 registration verifications, or a 118 percent increase compared to the previous weekend.

The website has tools that let voters double-check that their registration is still active, register to vote and request a mail-in-ballot. It also includes information on voting laws and how to find polling places.

The site also saw 41,000 new voter registrations the weekend of Ginsburg's death, a 68 percent jump from the previous week, and 35,000 mail-in ballot requests, which marked a 42 percent spike.
