Just to be Clear, Counties are Supposed to Register Voters

I really can't believe I overlooked this, but as a friend pointed out, 13-2-221 requires that county agencies that provide public assistance or assist individuals with disabilities also provide voter registration services. This is an outgrowth of the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 (better known as motor voter). Relevant provisions of the federal law are available here.

The NVRA actually opens with the following language:

The Congress finds that -

(1) the right of citizens of the United States to vote is a fundamental right;

(2) it is the duty of the Federal, State, and local governments to promote the exercise of that right;

This language is probably not completely enforceable, but I think Montana county governments should probably give the NVRA a read and take it seriously. Missouri just got sued for ignoring it and lost big time.
