Massachusetts Senate Passes No-Excuse Early Voting Bill

On October 6, the Massachusetts Senate passed S2545. It allows any registered vote to vote early. Election officials would postally mail each registered voter an application, asking if the voter wants a postal ballot or not. The bill also makes it possible for individuals to register to vote on election day. See this story.

  1. Where are the master commie/DNC and fascist/RNC MODEL Election Laws in Devil City ???

    Lurking in the bottom of the DC sewer system ???

    How many secession forces being built up ???

    See 1859 [John Brown raid] – 1861.

  2. @Jeff Becker…. Same day registration voters are given provisional ballots (marked as such) and set aside until their registration is verified… so yeah, nothing can go “wrong”.

  3. Obviously the more progressive states are mor progressive about voting. e.g. Massachusetts. And NJ.
    I am a convicted federal felon. I registered to vote after release from prison and have voted ever since without any problem.
    However my second amendment right to bear arms is deeply in trouble.

  4. There should be continuous voting. Each month a resident would acquire one vote, which they would have 60 months (5 years) to use before it expired. Voting could happen at any time. There would be an incentive to register since votes could begin to accumulate. Any registration would in effect be same day registration since a voter could begin voting. If their credentials needed checking, there would be no harm in a delay.

    If a voter was taking a trip, they would not not have to arrange for absentee voting, they could vote later.

    AGENCY —

    each Elector-Voter either directly votes on proposed laws or has his/her indirect legislative agent [Rep] do so.

    Continuous updates on New, Dead, Mover Electors-Voters — TOTAL security pressure to have updated registrations.

  6. @ JR:

    With proxy voting, you could have perpetual elections. One house of the legislature could be elected by proxy. To get elected, a Rep would need to collect a minimum number of proxy votes. Legislative votes could be weighted by the number of proxies held by each Rep. If that Rep made his constituent voters unhappy, they could withdraw or transfer their proxies to someone else at any time. If a Rep lost the minimum number of proxies, those Rep would lose their seats.
