Increased Turnout or Increased Chaos? Election Day Registration Passes Connecticut Senate


The bill, which Democrat Governor Malloy says he will sign into law gladly, is set to go into effect November 2013, and also allows for online voter registration.


 


“Democrats hailed the bill as a great method of increasing voter turnout, while Republicans said the chances of voter fraud are high as registrars will scramble to register new voters on the already-chaotic election day. . . Sen. Len Suzio, a conservative Republican from Meriden, said he received an email from the Democratic registrar of voters in Meriden, who said that the bill was “pure insanity.”  From his own informal survey, Suzio said that 58 out of 63 registrars – both Republican and Democrat – were against the bill.”

More Holder Hypocrisy: “Anti-Voter ID Democrats require Voter ID for Michigan Caucus”


“This weekend, the Michigan Democratic Party will be holding its caucuses to formally nominate Barack Obama as president. What do Democratic caucus voters need to vote? A photo ID.”


 


- What to expect: Bring proof that you live in the area served by the caucus location – photo ID is required.


 


“By Mr. Holder’s standards then, President Obama’s party is engaged in voter suppression, targeting heavily black voting precincts like Detroit and Pontiac. Will Holder allies like the NAACP and the George Soros-funded Brennan Center, who claim without evidence that voter ID laws hurt minorities, protest the Democratic caucuses? Will the NAACP petition the United Nations as it did in December for a human-rights ruling on what its President Benjamin Jealous called a “tidal wave of assaults on the right to vote”? Will the American Civil Liberties Union sue the Democratic Party as it has Wisconsin to protests its voter ID law?”
