Get this to the Supreme Court, stat! Black people might vote!
But restricting voter registration drives in order to try to preserve election commission resources is like poisoning the soil in order to have an easier harvest.
I heard a podcast about one of Monsanto’s proprietary systems, with an herbicide sprayed to kill everything but genetically modified soybeans. The judge’s example is not theoretical.
Although there are no laws that directly address the issue, failing to submit an application could be considered preventing a voter to exercise their rights. There are also no laws that directly address changing a registration, though at least one county guide informs drives that no changes should be made. So, yes, the law seems to be an attempt to put drives in the position that the only safe thing to do is to not register voters.
If ever there was an indictment of anyone’s ability to handle classified national intelligence information…He’d probably justify revealing that asset’s identity as his personal war against the Deep State, and would claim he did it to improve his relationship with his handler, Vladmir. It is transparently clear that this nation cannot trust Dotard T rumpp to act in our best interests on a world stage, or on a national stage, or even on a Broadway stage. His presence in that office is a liability to ever last one of us.
The mere allowance of 50 different sets of voting laws in this nation is a growing problem. It really is beyond the time where voting rights should become the subject of a single national regulation, instead of being left up to each and every state to administer, individually. IMO.
Well then one way to handle this in the preferred Republican standards is for voter groups to hire a bus, round up not registered voters, and then drive them to the appropriate county board of elections. Sorta like the Souls to Polls A/A churches do during election time. Let’s see how election official like their offices turned into the DMV during the last week of the month.
This needs to be put in context. Several of these measures to discourage voter registration drives have been passed in Republican controlled states recently. All part of the voter suppression agenda. Congress ought to be work to expose this.
I concur. Today’s populace is mobile than when these rules and regs were originally written. There can’t be too many people like me that registered once in High School and has never had to re-register.
Well, there’s me in that category, as well, but i hear what you’re saying. I know of no other constitutional rights where you are forced to use it, or lose it.
Did my postgraduate work at Vanderbilt in the late 60’s; loved Nashville. But left because we didn’t want to raise our kids amidst the hate extended there toward Black folk. Change is so slow; maybe we should have stayed to help.
