Scuttlebutt has it that Charles Schumer and Barney Frank are going to give universal voting registration legislation a go again later this month. The democrats are hurriedly working on a ton of legislation that is not too popular with the American public.
With this legislation it will implement basically an automatic voting registration system. Whenever you get any service from the government, you will automatically be registered to vote. This sounds agreeable.. since if you move and forget to register, you will still be able to vote the day of an election.
So if you get welfare, food stamps, a drivers license, been in legal trouble, own property... or are on any public record or in any public database you will be registered to vote. Whether you wanted to or not.
And yes, illegals have drivers licenses, they have been put on public records via the legal system, they do receive food stamps and welfare, and in some cases own property. This legislation is also expected to give felons the right to vote. Politicians will soon have to pander to everyone.
I know the resident left-wing nuts will welcome this... but don't they feel that having someone prove who they are at a polling station is really a bad thing?
Good opinion piece for those that want it (so I can avoid the "you posted an opinion piece" whiners): http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/jan/07/letting-crooks-illegals-vote/
