Democrats activate weeklong voter drive to offset critical registration losses
The Guardian ^ | Mon 15 Sep 2025 | Chris Stein

The Democrats are launching a weeklong bid to register voters nationwide, particularly in battleground House districts as their party grapples with increasing numbers of Americans registering as Republicans.

The nationwide trends in party registration – detailed in an article published in August by the New York Times – heightened concern that the Democrats’ drubbing in the 2024 election was not the one-off result of a chaotic presidential campaign won by Donald Trump and the Republicans, but rather signs of a broader shift by voters away from Democrats.

While the party has in past years left voter-registration efforts in the hands of outside groups, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) chair, Ken Martin, said now is the time to get directly involved again with a drive he dubbed the National Voter Registration Week of Action.

“Across 27 states and territories, Democrats will be hosting a combined 50 events to register voters and hold Republicans accountable for selling us out to their billionaire backers. We’re building the infrastructure necessary to win everywhere. The work continues now,” Martin said.

The DNC plans to hold the events to which Martin referred at venues such as stadiums and farmers’ markets, in coordination with state parties and college Democrats. Martin said the push was a follow-up to the DNC’s “organizing summer” where the Democrats expanded their volunteer base to 41,000 people and interacted with 1.6 million voters.

I thought all the states have had motor voter registration laws for a long time. Are they finding people who don’t have driver’s licenses?

Look for all of the deported illegal trespassers to be given absentee ballots. They will all be mailed to the same address in Lost Angeless’ Skid Row. The homeless will be given one shot of booze for every 20 ballots completed.

The next step will be identifying all the illegal trespassers who self-deported. Every vote must count!

FTA——an August NYT article – heightened concern that the Democrats’ drubbing in 2024 by Trump was not the “one-off” result of Harris’ chaotic presidential campaign, but rather signs of a broader shift by voters away from Democrats.

The Democratic Party moved away from Bill Clinton’s Third Way politics. Instead the base wants the party to go even farther left. They’re not going to win votes with this strategy.

18 U.S. 611 criminalizes noncitizen voting in federal elections.

What reasonable measures are the Dems taking to determine those they register to vote are actually eligible to vote?

If note, can the Dems be charged with a crime?

(My argument for decades has been that the votes of those states that take no such reasonable means should be rejected by Congress at the "Jan6" special session following each presidential election.)

Perfect opportunity is tomorrow when 68 million will be in one area. Sure it’s unusual, but I think Kirk would appreciate it.
