In a state where politicians believe motorists are too dumb to pump their own gas, every adult who “interacts” with the Department of Motor Vehicles will now be automatically registered to vote and mailed a ballot… expanding the Democrat voter base by 300,000 lazy, dumb, and apathetic people whose ballots will be scooped up and filled out for them by ACORN-type community organizations.
The Internet home for American gay conservatives.
Oregon is a special place where rationale & logic do not apply. Sometimes it’s liberal, sometimes it’s conservative; but you can bet your bottom dollar that it’s always peculiar.
The Fifteenth and the Nineteenth Amendments of the Constitution are very clear that the right to vote is for citizens only. Since congress has the power to enforce these laws, they should have the power to restrict the states from registering non-citizens. A drivers license is not a right but a privilege. It might not be a bad idea, to have applicants for driving permits to provide proof of citizenship, either by a birth certificate or a certificate of naturalization. The left shouldn’t object to this since they want to abridge our Second Amendment rights by gun and ammo registration.
I have long advocated that voting should have at least as many requirements as legally buying a gun & obtaining a concealed carry permit. But then again there are 6.5 million actively used social security numbers of people who would be over 112 years old.
The notion of military service being mandatory for suffrage sounds more appealing all the time…
This isn’t just a blue state thing. After I moved in Kansas I went to the DMV for a new license and the clerk was most insistent that she register me to vote; at the time I was a green card holder. Probably from ignorance of the laws, the clerk insisted that it “wasn’t a problem and then you can vote.” It took much explaining, finishing with something like “if you register me to vote and I get into trouble, I’m naming you” before she let it go.
