This seems so amazingly reasonable, I can’t imagine why we wouldn’t do it:
Universal registration is one idea being batted around in a larger program of election reform bills at the NYS Senate. Let’s hope it goes somewhere!
Btw, my two cents: let me vote (securely) online with a click of a button. The whole notion of having to be somewhere in person to do something is SO 20th century.
its a fascinating concept, at the very least. You are registered to vote unless you adopt to not be. Libertarians might hate the idea, but… -shrug-
I wanna learn more about this proposal…any links for further info?
Marty, I believe you can find out more by going to Senator Addabbo’s website or by googling stuff on “Elections Committee”. Also, the new NY Senate website will be launching soon and that should have all of the hearing videos and testimonies for the Elections Committee page. I’ll probably post again about it when there’s more substance!
