Just because you say it doesn't mean it's true. There's not a single person who will be able to register to vote online who can't do so offline with an old fashioned paper form. In no way does this make the registration process more open to fraud -- on the contrary, it requires people to provide proof that they are who they say they are, which is something that the paper forms don't require.

If you're against this, I'm not sure what exactly it is that you support -- banning all voter registration?

voter registration is good as long as one can PROVE one is a CITIZEN and is ELIGABLE to vote. As mentioned in my previous post, once an election declares a winner, the person is sworn in and for some reason, that is the point of no return for the seat. Vetting the voter who registers to vote on the day of an election will 30 days or more and well after the perceived winner will have been sworn in. I favor the good old way where on has to register 30+ days In advance of an election and has to prove eligibility to register. Absentee ballots should not be allowed as well as the motor-voter registration should not be allowed. One live and legal person, one vote. Any degree of ambiguity in the validity of our voting system will be exploited to the hilt and we then get what we now have, a corrupted political system where politicians as well as judges are bought all the time so there has been no accountability or legal recourse to overturn an illegitimate election. Some would say, oh, that's just politics. I say, NO, that's political corruption and it has bankrupted this country. I like the idea one going in to a booth and casting a vote and then dipping one's finger in ink, period.
