Don’t worry. If you don’t want to vote the democrats have you covered.
This will eventually evolve into a fine and or punishment for NOT voting..................
Automatically registered if you get an ID (drivers license), but no id required to vote.
Translation:
If you don’t vote someone will vote for you.
Welcome to jury duty.
Do you have to register as R or D to vote in the primaries in Oregon? Could this scheme have something to do with a matching funds formula?
I can see this making vote selling a big deal.
You can “opt out” if you want ... BUT REALLY ... it should be the RESPONSIBILITY of every citizen to vote, at least that’s what I was taught growing up ... :-) ...
Oregon has closed Primaries.
It really is just a matter of stealing elections with bogus votes from people who don’t vote anyway. They will be voting in every election whether they died or not...........
I am of the opinion that each state should be required to maintain one set of voter rolls for the state elections and a separate set of rolls for the federal elections.
States can do what ever they want with the state voter rolls.
Federal rolls should be:
- restricted to competent Citizens who are not in prison or on parole
- age 18 (I would prefer 21) and older
- require proof of residence and citizenship to register
- registration cut off during the month of November
- rolls to be cleared (everyone removed) 30 days after the inauguration of a new President. This would require everyone to re-register.
- proof of ID required to vote
- mail in ballot granted only to those that can show cause (shut in, out of state, etc)
- voter rolls checked against IRS and Social security records to confirm that no one is registered in multiple states.
I’d be curious how this is set up to omit convicted felons and foreign national residents — especially the honest ones who know they are ineligible to vote and have no interest in doing so.
That move guarantees Oregon will send democrats to DC forever.
I can see this as becoming ‘proxy’ voting by default. If you don’t actually vote, then they will count you as a (D) no matter what..................
I get mad at people for NOT voting. There are people around me that I know didn’t vote and I complain to them about it! I was always taught that it is one’s RESPONSIBILITY to vote, as a citizen. But, I don’t think someone should be fined for it. They should be shamed and criticized strongly for not voting!
Absolutely. Anyone who has access to those names will have access to “their”
votes.
Better ideas being pushed in the Michigan legislature. No more winner take all presidential elections that are decided by Detroit and Flint.
House Bill 4310: Pro-rate Michigan’s electoral college presidential votes
Introduced by Rep. Cindy Gamrat (R) on March 5, 2015, to require that at political party conventions one presidential elector from each congressional district and two electors at large be chosen. The elector ultimately chose for each district would the one whose party’s candidate for president won in that congressional district. The at-large candidates elected would be, as now, those who belonged to the political party whose presidential candidate won statewide. This would end the current “winner take all” system.

Senate Bill 197: Pro-rate Michigan’s electoral college presidential votes
Introduced by Sen. Dave Hildenbrand (R) on March 11, 2015, to end the current winner-take-all system of allocating Michigan’s presidential electors, and instead pro-rate the state’s electoral college votes on the basis of the state’s popular vote totals.

What gets me angry is people who I know don’t vote then bitch about the elections for 4 years......................
You don’t have to show up ... you just mail it in ... :-) ...
All elections in Oregon are exclusively “by mail”.
