That's your justification??
Justification for what? Nobody is trying to justify anything. I'm pointing out the motivation, not justification. I'd like to completely outlaw paid signature gatherers and people who are paid to register voters. I call them the "Safeway Fuckers" because they stand outside grocery stores accosting people in a hurry...and turn in shit registration forms.
I'm for outlawing signature gathering for any reason. If you really want to vote, you'll figure out how to register yourself.
When Obama was running for reelection, there were black people here standing at the end of highway ramps offering M&M candies to people who would register to vote.
The biggest problem with our election system is we allow people to vote who have no idea WTF they are even voting on. They don't read the papers, they don't follow politics, they know nothing about the issues, and quite frankly, they could care less.
If it were up to me, people would have to take a small test when they go to vote. Nothing too difficult, just simple questions like "Who is the current President? Who is the current Vice President and what party does he represent? What party controls the Congress....... the Senate?' Simple things like that.
I'm sure Republicans would be all for it. Democrats would fight it to the end.
