I don't quite understand this. Why would you want to do so?
If a picture ID is required to vote (or to get a voter registration card) and a driver's license is an accepted picture ID, why would you not allow someone to register when they are getting their driver's license? Why make them get their driver's license and then go somewhere else to register, using their license as ID?
I'm assuming here that motor/voter still requires the same form to be filled out (verifying US citizenship, non-felon etc.) in order to register. Why make it more difficult? That's not the function of government as I see it. Motor/voter seems to make for more efficient government and therefore a better use of my tax dollars.
Am I missing something?
Yes, you are missing something, any illegal alien can apply for a driver lic. in any state and be instantly registered to vote. This law opens the door to vote fraud.
Nothing about citizenship or felon status is asked on driver's license/state ID applications in WI. Not sure about other states.
Yes. "Motor voter" automatically registers them to vote. There would be no other forms to fill out. That's precisely the problem. When you consider that liberals propose giving illegal aliens driver's licenses, then you begin to see the real problem.
I would have no problem with making voter registration available at the same time as getting your DL, but don't ever make it automatic. If you don't have enough concern to register to vote, you sure as hell don't have any business voting!
