Feingold, Klobuchar Propose Federal Election Day Registration Bill

by: Matt Singer

Thu May 01, 2008 at 14:36:10 PM MST


Senators Russ Feingold and Amy Klobuchar have introduced a federal bill that would require that Election Day Registration be available in all federal elections.

This is a great idea -- provided the feds pony up the resources to make it happen. The United States is the only major representative democracy in the world where the onus on registering to vote is on citizens rather than the government. Until we can reverse that onus for good -- lowering barriers is a great idea.

It took me a while to get my registration updated after I moved here because I wanted to vote absentee in a city council race back home this spring.  Anyway, I submitted my voter registration in person at the courthouse almost a month ago now and I've heard nothing.  They said I should have a confirmation within a week.  I called a couple of weeks ago, and they said they had my request on file, but I still haven't heard anything.  What gives?
