The latest partisan attacks against Colorado Secretary of State Scott Gessler’s efforts to maintain clean voter rolls as required by law are … all part of the Democrats’ monotonous, contrived narrative in this election campaign that Republicans are out to “suppress” the turnout of minorities who vote for Democrats. The argument is nonsense. There’s nothing intimidating about asking legal citizens, regardless of their color or ethnicity, to identify themselves. Only illegal voters have something to fear. But it does appear we have a problem with the Department of Motor Vehicles’ handling of motor-voter registration. There are accounts that they’re indiscriminately “upselling” that option, much like the counter server at a fast-food restaurant who asks if you want “fries with that.” It should be standard procedure that anyone asked by a DMV clerk about registering to vote should also be asked if he or she is a U.S. citizen.
