Gore won Wisconsin in 2000 as a direct result of voter fraud, which was greatly facilitated by same-day registration.

Any Republican that advocates same day registration should be thrown out of the party and never receive another dollar of Republican support.

It is no accident that is is primarily those on the left who decry "low participation" - Republicans are, as a group, more likely to vote. The last thing we want to do is facilitate a broad increase in voter participation, since the demonrats will gain more of the incremental vote than we will.

It is common sense: who is more likely to have their sh*t together, and be registered to vote before election day: the average employed, stable suburbanite contributing member of society or the average urban, unemployed, transient welfare case?

What do you have to prove about yourself, and corroborate, to obtain a MasterCard?

What do you have to merely state about yourself, let alone corroborate, to get a voter registration card?

That pair of questions tells you all you need to know, about which action is genuinely valued by The Powers That Be in our civil society.

If voting under such a lax system really mattered, when all is said and done, it wouldn't be legal.
