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.
