Bill Clinton Uses "Jim Crow" Analogy In From Of Liberal Activist Groups - Slick Willie Still Knows How To Use Black Inferiority To Draw Attention

Bill Clinton Tells A Liberal Group That Modern Day Attempts At Altering Same Day Voter Registration And College Students Voting At School Are Akin To Jim Crow Era Voter Suppression

Why The Inferiorities Suffered By Black People In The Past Always Make For Present Day Analogies For Those Who Wish To Use Fear To Inflate A Problem Larger Than It Actually Is

Unlike a good portion of my ideological adversaries I won't run from the ISSUE AT HAND and simply attack the person in question.

Here is the Wikipedia entry on "Election Day Voter Registration"

In the United States, Election Day voter registration (also known as EDR or same-day voter registration) permits eligible citizens to register and vote on Election Day.

Most U.S. states require voters to register before an election, with various deadlines (such as 30 days or 15 days before an election). Election Day voter registration allows eligible voters to register on election day, usually by showing valid identification to a poll worker, who checks the identification, consults the registration list, and, if they are not registered, registers them on the spot.

Ten states have some form of Election Day voter registration: Idaho, Iowa, Maine, Minnesota, Montana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Wyoming and Washington DC. Montana began Election Day voter registration in 2006, North Carolina in 2007, and Iowa in 2008. Connecticut and Rhode Island also have Election Day registration, but only for presidential elections. (North Dakota, unique among the states, has no voter registration requirement at all.)

Newly popular early voting programs sometimes work in concert with Election Day registration. While not allowing registration on Election Day itself (the last day to vote), the states of Ohio and North Carolina offer a period where voters can register and then early vote.[1]

Under the new system in place in North Carolina, same-day registration occurs three to 19 days before the scheduled election.

Voter turnout is much higher in states using Election Day registration than in states that did not. In the 2004 presidential election, voter turnout in same-day voter registration states was 12 percent higher than states that did not;[2] in the 2006 midterm elections, states with same-day voter registration had turnout rates 10-12 percent higher than in other states.

My personal opinion:

• With respect to college students - WE NEED CONSISTENCY.   The same people who decry Inmates being counted in the US Census in the location where they are held yet support having illegal immigrants tabulated in the count are the same people that want to have the college students able to vote in the district where they attend school.  I believe that an absentee ballot from their home district is more appropriate.   Most college students do not alter their drivers license or government issued ID based on their dormitory or student apartment that they'll have for one year.   There should be a standardized method to request an absentee ballot across each state that is web based.
• With respect to same day registration voting - IF there is a system for instant verification of one's address then I support it.   Whatever the process that takes place during the 30 to 90 day advanced registration should be made more efficient.  There should not be some arbitrary interval of time, just to be arbitrary.

What about the "expanded voting" that Progressives are typically opposed to:

• The use of computer technology and strong authentication to allow secure voting from home computers or general computers at libraries - in an effort to increase the participation of voters who's schedule doesn't afford them access to government sanctioned polling places

Mention computer based voting using the same security that we now have accepted for banking, stock trades and filing our taxes - and the word "Diebold" will be brought up as a point of prejudice of the concept.  The truth is that there is presently sufficient security infrastructure to shift to a distributed voting model in this manner, with the appropriate security controls and monitoring to retain the integrity of the process.

As we transition to a world of electronic payments the use of strong authentication will become more abundant.  From finger print readers to your web cam used for facial authentication - it will be the government voting process that will stand out as a 20th century lagging standard - all due to ideology and politics.

Still - 100 years from now - the use of Oppressed Blacks - will continue to be the 'It Works Every Time" reference that some people use to avoid having to justify why they have been so wildly successful in obtaining the "Equal Black Ballot" and the "Black Community Consciousness" but the condition of my people remains inferior - as so many of us have agreed to put on the uniform of the poster child.
