![]() ![]() ![]() Section 5: States Subject: Voter Suppression Msg# 1118222

I agree with you in principal. I also don't see a problem with registration of legal citizens being automatic. If they have not chosen a party affiliation, then they could be assigned Independent. When they are of age to vote, the can choose an affiliation if they want to vote it the primary. The rules vary by State.
I think that most of these voting bills being initiated will suppress the vote. Reduced polling places and drop boxes, restriction of mail-in ballots, reduced hours, etc. do nothing to get the vote out. If candidates want to win elections, they need to retain the voters they have, win back the ones they have lost, and pick up some new ones along the way. Dark money, lobby groups, etc. should not be the deciding factor in elections. Just my two cents. |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: I think if someone wants to vote that they should be able to take at least a little initiative and register themselves. And besides, if people are "automatically registered" just what party are they "automatically registered" into ? |
