On April 19, the Rutgers University Student Assembly, and several other groups, along with individual voters, filed a lawsuit against the New Jersey law that sets a 21-day advance registration deadline for people to register to vote. The case is Rutgers University Student Assembly v Middlesex County Board of Elections, superior court, Middlesex County. The lawsuit is based on the New Jersey Constitution. It argues that given modern technology, there is no need to close off voter registration as much as three weeks before any election. The complaint suggests that there is no strong state interest not to let voters register on election day. Thanks to Frank Askin for this news.
“Given modern technology”?
How many computers does it take to fill in a provisional ballot form?
(Granted, a little bit of misapplied technology could make this impractical; but the low-tech and high-tech versions both work fine.)
How about have LOTS of folks from a even numbered election year regime go to LOTS of hotels/motels, colleges, etc. in an odd numbered year regime and claim the right to vote in the odd numbered regime in the days/weeks before each election in the odd numbered regime ??? — and vice versa.
Is this the EVIL New Age or what ???
More and more SUBVERSION of the Right to Vote by the usual suspects from Hell ???
Where is that uniform national definition of Elector — to save some sort of Real Democracy from its ongoing destruction by the various suspects from Hell ???
See the chaos from having provisional votes in the OH judge case.
How did the U.S.A. ever manage to ever survive before provisional votes came along ???
