re motor voter in article r tjninngcu bigbird williams edu csw williams edu walter gib gibson writes motor voter stuff my friend after the election brought up the point that it would enable more people to vote however since it makes it easier to get to the place of registration he brought up the analogy that if there were only one place to vote say in alaska would it be excessive and wasteful to petition to have more places to vote this is a similar idea a way to encourage more people to vote by making it more easily accessible i not knowing where i stood played devil s advocate and said well would you have the taxpayer s money go to busing for those people that have trouble making it to dmv then where does the right to vote merge with the right to vote easily where should we draw the lines well there does have to be a line and to be honest extending voter registration to dmvs is hardly analogous to having only one place for registration in alaska and opening a new one in atlanta more is not always better once you ve passed a certain point my friend said that that is obviously an extreme and that actually the motor voter bill would save money because no longer would the city have to pay someone to sit in the town hall and spend all his her time filing those things they d just be at the push of a button or the filling out of an x at dmv so i actually someone else but there s no need to confuse this anymore countered again saying that wouldn t congress as always get exorbitent budgets and fund committees to orchestrate and oversee the implementation the argument went back and forth forever ranging from whether or not it s better to have more people voting whether that is even relevant etc just looking for some more opinions anybody got em i thought the motor voter bill passed in any case my experiance with tennessee s voter registration system which you can register with by mail by the way is that nobody who is interested in voting is being denied access to registration all it requires is just the tiniest bit of interest on the registrant s part and thinking about the election once in the eleven months prior to it once you register it s good unless you miss for years worth of elections of move it s easy to register now i simply don t see the value in going out and trying to get people registered who don t have enough gumption to even write and have the proper forms sent to them how can we expect responsible decisions out of these people david veal univ of tenn div of cont education info services group pa utkvm utk edu i still remember the way you laughed the day your pushed me down the elevator shaft i m beginning to think you don t love me anymore weird al
