U.S. Should Consider Automatic
Voter Registration: Holder

Bloomberg, by Phil Mattingly & Steven Komarow

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 12/12/2012 11:33:48 AM

The U.S. should consider automatically registering eligible voters and extending voting hours to counter the November election’s long lines and administrative hurdles, Attorney General Eric Holder said. Holder, speaking today at the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library in Boston, proposed expanding access for voters and overhauling a registration system he called “antiquated.” “It is important for national leaders, academic experts, and members of the public to engage in a frank, thorough and inclusive discussion about how our election systems can be made stronger and more accessible,”

Comments:
What could possibly go wrong? s/o 0bama, Holder and the regime are never-ending in their quest to completely destroy and corrupt the election systems in this country. Then they will reign forever. This last election was a perfect example.

Just think.

One can be registered in every district in every state.

And whether you actually show up at the polls or not your vote will be counted.

Just like now.

I thought any kind of voter registration was ´racist´ according to Holder!

My experience in California has pretty much been to walk in and vote, unless you go at rush hour morning or evening.

Still, I´d support keeping the polls open over three days - though WITH requirement for ID, otherwise more open time would just be more fraud.

Also, I´d severely limit absentee ballots, which I presume are more often filled out by party operatives than by voters.

Why stop there we should have all ballots pre-selected for Demoncrats. That way the Obamazombies can just stay home glued to the latest episode of Honey boo boo.

Think about it. We normally have say 40-60% turnout for any given election.
Imagine how many people you could cast ballots for who never show up...?

How ´bout Automatic Firearms Registration, Eric?

I wonder if they had to show an ID to get into the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library for this speech?

Why not let them also register a permenant vote as well? Just have a box in the registration form that can be checked: "Always Democrat", and have the voting done automatically, for you! Now that´s "progressive!
Let the "voting" be renewed automatically every year, or permanently. Think of the "savings". You could win every time with ´prevotes´. Cancel the election. Obama´s already won! O´h Happy Day!.

Can we do the same for gun registration? After all, it is a Constitutional right.

I have an idea: why don´t dispense with this faux "holiday" known as Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, and instead make election day a national holiday?

Why is the simple act of registering to vote so immensely difficult and chaotic for some people? Are people really this stupid, or is it just the Democrats hoping that they are?

Voter registration is reserved to the States, Bozo!

Automatic voting to follow.

Why don´t we just fine people $500 if they don´t vote, why stop at halfacre solutions?

This is just anothe ploy to pack up the voter fraud...

It makes it easier to create voters out of whole cloth! Will they do that anyway!

Apparently our esteemed Attorney General does not know the US Consitution.
The registration policies and procedures for voters, the method, manner and location of voting, and the validation of eligible voters are ALL STATE RESPONSIBILITIES.
Other than mandating eligibility to vote at 18 years of age, and the dates of national elections, the US Government HAS NO SAY.
So shaddup, Holder, you racist communist.


Reply 19 - Posted by: KTWO, 12/12/2012 12:54:30 PM     (No. 9061712)

On registration the Devil lives in the details.

But leave it up to the states. A national system just means more power is given to Washington. The next step would be federal control of the polling places and of vote counting.

We know what Stalin said about votes. Varying it a little; If you control voting you win the election.

I don´t know who is the bigger horse´s butt, Holder or Obama. I think it´s a tie. They are both dangerous and a threat to everything that is America. Can America survive four more years of these two Democrat boobs? Voting privileges will be determined by each of the states. There are currently too many people casting votes that have no business anywhere near a voting booth.


Reply 21 - Posted by: dwa, 12/12/2012 1:25:11 PM     (No. 9061781)

This is one of the most stupid things coming out of this corrupt communists mouth. Voting is a right and as with all rights, there are responsibilities. For voting, those responsibilities are to register, to learn what the issues are, to know where your voting place is and vote. What this donkey and his party wants is simply the vote for their candidate and to have the people as uninformed and irresponsible as possible, for only in that way do they win. So far they are being successful, but they want a fool proof system


Reply 22 - Posted by: lostinmassachusetts, 12/12/2012 1:34:08 PM     (No. 9061802)

Holder (and his master, Obama) don´t care about no stinkin´ Constitution. The prefer to make up the rules as they go along, to ensure that they´ll be in power forever. This includes the right of the states to determine their own election laws.

Why not change election Day to April 15th. That way, you can vote when you are on your way out of the tax preparer`s office, right after they tell you you didn`t pay enough....


Reply 24 - Posted by: msjena, 12/12/2012 3:57:44 PM     (No. 9062073)

If people can´t bother to register, they must not care about voting. Also, when people move, they need to re-register so the votes count in the right state, district, etc.


Reply 25 - Posted by: HistoryBuff, 12/12/2012 4:10:06 PM     (No. 9062087)

And your vote will be automatic too!

The only change I want to see is election day moved to the first Tuesday after April 15th.

Bill Ayers believes President Obama gets a “failing grade” for his presidency, and should be tried for “war crimes,” along with all living presidents who have engaged in acts of “terrorism” abroad. Sitting down for an episode of RealClearPolitics’ “Morning Commute,” Ayers told host Charlie Stone that, on policy, Obama receives a “failing grade” along with the “F-minuses” he’s given previous presidents like George W. Bush and Richard Nixon. “I don’t think he’s let anybody down,” Ayers added, pointing to how during the 2008 presidential campaign then-Senator Obama consistently declared himself to be a “middle-of-the-road, pragmatic politician.”

National Security Agency Director Gen. Keith Alexander told the House Intelligence Committee on Tuesday that the NSA whistleblower that leaked classified information on the agency’s surveillance program caused “irreversible and significant damage” to the nation and helped America’s enemies. “I think it was irreversible and significant damage to this nation,” Alexander said Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) asked how damaging it was “to the national security of the American people that this trust was violated.” “Has this helped America’s enemies?” Bachmann asked Alexander. “I believe it has, and I believe it will hurt us and our allies,”

John Boehner (R-Ohio) said he might lose his job as House speaker over immigration reform, but he insisted he will not bring a bill to the House floor that does not have majority support of both Republicans and Democrats. Following the Republican conference meeting on Tuesday, Boehner was asked: “Rep. Rohrabacher said that if you bring immigration reform to the floor without the support of the GOP conference you will lose your job (as speaker). Do you think that’s accurate?” “Maybe,” Boehner said after a long pause, to laughter from reporters.

Rev. Al Sharpton, host of MSNBC’s “PoliticsNation,” said Friday that Republicans are “scared,” because the party is “built on fear and obstruction.” “This is who they are. They are scared, because the party is built on fear and obstruction, and no matter how hard they try, it’s not working,” said Sharpton after reading a tweet from Sen.

In line with Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel’s order for troops to have their workplaces searched for “degrading or offensive” materials -- part of an attempt to curb sexual assault in the military -- the Navy will inspect even its bathrooms. While what’s degrading or offensive is open to interpretation, the material can include song lyrics and “inappropriate cartoons.” In a memo sent on June 13, Navy Secretary Ray Mabus ordered that all sailors, Marines, cadets and civilian employees have their workplaces searched by June 28.

OFA Anti-Gun Rally

Last Friday, Organizing for Action exploited the six-month anniversary of the Newtown shooting. They mobilized their supporters for a series of anti-gun rallies across the country. In San Bernardino, that call to action was answered by three people. Ryan Hagen of the Sun, a local paper, wrote on June 14 about the failed rally. On Flag Day growing up, I used to always wave a flag with my grandson, and it hit me that the victims of that horrible tragedy won’t ever be able to do that,” said Curtis Lewis, the group’s gun violence prevention coordinator.

While unrest in Turkey continues to capture attention, more subtle and more telling events concerning the Islamification of Turkey — and not just at the hands of Prime Minister Erdogan but majorities of Turks — are quietly transpiring. These include the fact that Turkey’s Hagia Sophia museum is on its way to becoming a mosque. Why does the fate of an old building matter? Because Hagia Sophia — Greek for “Holy Wisdom” — was for some thousand years Christianity’s greatest cathedral. Built in 537 A.D. in Constantinople, the heart of the

On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Politico’s Playbook has an excerpt from a new Ryan Lizza piece from the New Yorker that is not yet online. It contains a passage on the back-and-forth between labor and the Chamber that has a quote from a Rubio staffer that is going to raise eyebrows, to say the least: “There are American workers who, for lack of a better term, can’t cut it. There shouldn’t be a presumption that every American worker is a star performer. There are people who just can’t get it, can’t do it, don’t want to do it. And so you can’t obviously discuss that publicly.” Here is the entire context:

A series of shootings this weekend has Chicagoans on edge. A total of 11 separate shootings since Friday night have resulted in seven deaths and at least 30 injuries in the Windy City. The victims range in age from 16-years old to 40-years-old, according to multiple media reports. The last of the shooting deaths came early Sunday morning when police chased a man down a dark alley on the crime-ridden West Side. The suspect jumped out of the window of a moving car the officers were attempting to pull over, he fell down fleeing

Iran is preparing to send 4,000 troops in to Syria to support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in the wake of America´s announcement it will be providing ´military aid´ to the country´s Muslim rebels. President Barack Obama made the pledge earlier this week after the U.S. claimed it found ´conclusive evidence´ Assad´s regime has used chemical weapons against the rebel forces--which includes the most extreme Sunni Islamists--and has called for Britain and France to back the move. While Britain hasn´t made a guarantee either way as yet, more than 350 Royal Marines are being sent to Jordan
