75. Requiring voters to pre-register at all, if they can prove residency, is unreasonable.
Edited on Mon Jan-14-08 05:39 PM by Leopolds Ghost
The 14th Amendment to the Constitution says that the rights enumerated
under the Constitution including the right to vote cannot be alienated
from voters on the basis of any test unrelated to actual citizenship,
be it race or car ownership (and several of the states the High Court
is apparently endorsing do not have ID cards for non-car owners,
they are ALREADY considered second class citizens
and demeaned by well-off suburban DUers for not
having the "mental wherewithal" to get a car or a credit card.)
