Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson says Michigan has no plans to offer online voter registration, arguing the state needs to improve security in the voting process before introducing new technology.
"There's nothing that's more important to the foundation of our democracy, our republic, our country than making sure our votes are clean and also encouraging people to vote," she told WJR-AM 760 host Frank Beckmann on Monday. "It's always a balancing act."
Rock the Vote, a non-partisan national group that encourages young people to participate in elections, has called Michigan's voting laws outdated and suggested this week that technology could allow the state to reduce barriers to participation.

She proves why secretary of state elections are important.
“could allow the state to reduce barriers to participation.”
There are no barriers to participation. You walk to your local town or city hall, fill out a simple form and you’re registered. If you move, you walk to your new town or city hall, fill out a simple form and and you’re registered.
Then, generally twice a year you walk to your local polling place and cast a ballot.
There are only barriers in front of those who cannot LEGALLY vote. And that’s as it should be.
The democrats are screaming bloody murder about the republicans trying to suppress the democrat vote.
There, fixed it for 'em.
She actively ran against the Soros funded Secretary of state project because she and the new attorney general were both targets of fraud. We now have two Oakland county democrat officials facing multiple counts of fraud and an ongoing investigation.
Ping!
no shit all 50 states have that job. none of them are doing their job.
FIRE THEM!
“We now have two Oakland county democrat officials facing multiple counts of fraud and an ongoing investigation.”
Good, and let’s have ongoing FReeper coverage of these investigations.
I’ve heard behind the scenes that Ruth’s the real deal on this stuff. Can you imagine if Soros lackey and East Coast Transplant professor Benson won? That would have sucked. Bigtime.
Benson was the worst of the worst. I’d love it if the fraud investigation went back to her. At least one of the guys charged did work for her.
Johnson was the real gem of our last election in my opinion.
These cases drag on forever but here’s some news from last year.

Please freepmail me if you wish to be added or dropped from the mitten ping.
Thanks for the ping; post. HOORAY Ruth Johnson!
And its not even an election year for her, she’s doing it because it’s right.
Exactly. I like Ruth a lot. Her signature is on my CPL. :)
says Michigan has no plans to offer online voter registrationAlso, the polls need to close at a uniform time -- no more of this "Detroit votes until midnight so we know how many votes to manufacture" bull-.
Yep - Once a Democrat, Always a Democrat. That doesn't change even in death - it's only right that the loyal dead Democrats have their say.
Keep the pressure on!!
