So, I realize I'll be in the minority on this. But, do we really want people to have the right (that's correct, it's a right) to vote if they're too stupid to fill out the registration forms without help? At what point does being informed become important? I know, I know, you can't take away someone's right to vote, but you could make it mandatory that they exercise said right and be able to fill out the damn forms.
Certainly know why Obama wants this to be enforced - these morons ain't gonna be voting Republican in the fall...
"The guidelines make it clear that people applying for benefits must not only be offered the chance to register but must be given help in filling out the forms if they ask. If states do not comply voluntarily, lawsuits are likely to follow."
