To: Still Thinking

The decision is bad, it sets a precedent that FEDERAL LAW CAN USURP STATES IN VOTING. Think about it, all the feds have to do is create another alphabet group to MONITOR AND CONTROL state elections, that require federal forms, for monitoring purposes.

They will just change more rules. After the current govs abusive use of post 9-11 national security measures, anyone that thinks the left won’t exploit any advantage they have is living in a sane world.

No, it reinforces the concept that the federal law takes precedence over state law with regard to registration for FEDERAL elections. State law is still primary with regard to state and local elections. You could require voters to fill out the state registration form in order to be able to vote in state and local elections, or just be limited to voting in federal elections if they choose to use the federal form. There would be some logistical problems with that, but it would be legal and constitutional (federalism).
