Could it be a peeved-off politician's crusade? lol
http://w3.newsmax.com/popunders/mainpop.htmTwo frequent political rivals are joining forces to pursue radical changes to the nation's voter-registration system, a bid aimed in part at eliminating massive voter drives by groups such as ACORN that last year saw people fraudulently registering under the names of cartoon characters and sports figures.
The two prominent election lawyers - who advised Sens. John Kerry and John McCain during their respective presidential campaigns - want states to place the name of every eligible citizen on the voter rolls, rather than having people affirmatively register to vote, as they do now.
Another key objective: to modernize the registration process so it no longer depends so heavily on postcards and paper forms, said officials at the PewCenter on the States, a nonpartisan group that is backing the effort.
Marc Elias, who served as Mr. Kerry's lawyer, said there is at least one point on which campaign specialists from both parties can agree: "There ought to be a better way to do this."
Mr. Elias said he became convinced the registration process needed an overhaul while he was representing Al Franken during his protracted legal effort to be declared the victor in the 2008 Senate race in Minnesota. The court, he said, waded through more than 18,000 documents, often with the goal of gleaning whether someone who cast a ballot was properly registered.
As the case evolved, Mr. Elias said, lawyers on both sides found a rare sliver of common ground in their shared frustration with the voter-registration system.
Trevor Potter said his frustration with the registration system blossomed while he represented Mr. McCain during the 2008 election.
I don't think voter registration drives are bad, they just need to be run cleanly. If o-freakazoid had run his cleanly, our dear Hillary would now be president!
