WASHINGTON― Planned Parenthood announced Friday that it will start registering voters at its clinics, on college campuses, online and at other locations, “regardless of their background, beliefs, or political ideology,” in an effort to get disenfranchised populations more involved in the political process.
The non-partisan campaign, called “My Vote, My Voice,” has the potential to reach a lot of people who don’t normally vote in presidential campaigns. Volunteers across 45 states will set up “action” tables outside of Planned Parenthood health centers and other locations in the community to sign people up to vote, educate them about voter ID laws in their states, and then remind them two weeks before the November election to vote.

It’s not about registering voters so the voters can vote....
It’s about getting warm bodies registered so a Democrat can vote on their behalf when the warm body is too lazy to show up.
Having x number of no-show types registered means your precinct gets x number of blank ballots to play with over and above the number of people who do reliably show up. That’s why they don’t care about the political affiliation of those they register... they actually want to register people who are not motivated to vote so they will know for sure how many ballots they have to contest an election. They’ll just mysteriously “find” a box of “lost” and “voted” ballots belonging to that precinct when they need them, laying along some road or, oops, in someone’s trunk. So you’ll see Dems focus on places like Planned Parenthood, homelesss camps, college lounges [not schools of engineering or economics], welfare offices, and sanitoriums to get these blank ballots allocated to their precinct... rather than trying hard to register working people.
Since conservatives are law and order types and tend not to be cheaters, there is no need to go out and register people too lazy to come in and register themselves ...indeed, it works AGAINST conservatives to do so, because if the voter doesn’t show up to vote then the Democrats may find a way to vote that blank ballot. More likely though they’ll do their cheating in a safe Democrat-heavy precinct where conservatives have few volunteers to monitor what happens to the ballots.
Conservatives should focus on registering people who are highly motivated, rather than just anyone. But then if they ae motivated they’d already be registered, wouldn’t they, unless they are new to the area or are hut-inswith health problems.
That’s a problem for them; they’re dead but never were old enough to vote, so can’t weigh in directly for Democrats.
A big problem hindering would-be conservative votes is the vote purity problem. Putting out pamphlets trying to explain why voting prudence rather than purity makes sense, would do about as much good as anything in a conservative voting area.
And possible places to pass out such appeals might be bait shops and gun stores, etc.
Conservatives can be their own worst enemies sometimes.
“And check the box to get an absentee ballot mailed to you”
underage girls can’t vote.
Same tactic used by Obamacare “ambassadors.” Getting people registered to vote while they sign up for O-Care.
As someone already noted here, conservatives are slower to catch on and use the same tactics.
Every registration turned in by the baby butchers should be gone over with a fine tooth comb and heavy fines should be given for every fraudulent registration they submit. And I mean heavy.
