What the Dems know that we don’t: Universal Voter Registration
Do you know anyone NOT registered to vote?
Are you registered to vote? No? Well you may soon will be, without your knowledge.
“In January, Chuck Schumer and Barney Frank will propose universal voter registration. What is universal voter registration? It means all of the state laws on elections will be overriden by a federal mandate. The feds will tell the states: ‘take everyone on every list of welfare that you have, take everyone on every list of unemployed you have, take everyone on every list of property owners, take everyone on every list of driver’s license holders and register them to vote regardless of whether they want to be…”
UPDATE: During a luncheon meeting with my campaign manager and treasurer, we discussed this tidbit of upcoming legislation. We have some legitimate concerns about this that I think others may need to know, in case you may not have come to the same points. First, if such wide classes of people are plugged into voter lists – what will be their party affiliation, since those people won’t know this is being done for them and without their knowledge? Second, how will these people find out about their voting eligibility status change? Some folks deliberately dropped off the voting rolls because they fear being called for jury duty, or simply because of no longer voting (in some/most/ all states, inactive voting can result in being purged from the rolls).
Or, is this simply the case that the party (!) interested in mandating this Universal Voter Registration (over the objection of states, I would presume) wants to have contact addresses (locations) to embellish their means to drive voting statistics?
Responsible people (and Candidates) want to know. Myself in particular, because I have my doubts about the honesty and integrity behind this push by (at least) Senators Schumer and Frank.

Nothing surprises me any more with what the dems will try to do to hold on to and increase the power that they have. The last time I was in the DMV, there was a sign (in both English & Spanish) telling people that they had to be citizens of the US to be able to register to vote. That said, I wonder how many people were registered without the person behind the counter even caring or checking documentation. I know that in Takoma Park, MD, non-citizens are welcome to vote in local elections…who knows if this spills over to county, State or National ones. Thanks for the link and making readers aware of this.
a friend of mine found out at the 08 election that his mother and father and grandfather are all still registered to vote. they are all deceased…
Since I have been an election judge, during various years of training, I have learned that when someone is first added into the database of voters – then that information cannot be removed from the list for two presidential cycles.
Having said that, this means no one has offered any valid reason to remove such an individual.
Usually, here in Maryland, when someone comes in to vote and their name is so close to that of a relative in the database – then when it is mentioned the one name shouldn’t be there (due to death or moved to another state) a form must be filled out to get that name removed from the database.
At least, that was how we are trained to deal with such circumstances.
Despite all this training for those of us working in that system, still names exist thaat don’t get removed when they should.
I am not saying that the claim of “dead” voters isn’t true. It likely is. As far as names in the lists are concerned.
What I have never seen in my precinct, is someone coming in and using such identification to actually cast a vote.
This is the kind of proof that we all need to determine what is going on for this kind of claim.
I am also not saying you are wrong. I am simply trying to tell you, and anyone else, how this is supposed to work.
What this article above is saying to us all, is that one party here in the US is furthering an agenda to get as many people into the states databases as possible in order to overwhelm the records in one direction. They know that the workers involved for maintaining the states voter rolls are predominantly elderly volunteers. And therefore will not likely be able to keep up with removing bad data from the system.
Couple this with the now current scheme for early voting now legal for the first time here in Maryland, and you have a perfect data breeding ground for lists of names that will never be 100 percent correct ever again. Despite their best efforts, there will be problems with the database.
And without the means for proving an individual’s identity throughout the state consistently at each attempt (via photo id AND electronic statewide data sharing during voting hours), then there is a lot more work to be done by the counties election headquarters.
