Introduced by Rep. Bettie Scott (D) on June 12, 2007, to allow election day voting registration. Under current law, a citizen must register at least 30 days before an election. An assistant township, city or county clerk would have to be present at every polling place to accept sworn statements that the information in the voter registration application was valid and entitled a person to vote.
Referred to the House Ethics and Elections Committee on June 12, 2007.
1) Only Property Owners [by Anonymous Citizen on June 15, 2007] Should vote. It is amazing how the dems/socialists have allowed our elections to deteriorate. If a guy sits around and drinks beer all day in his tenement apartment eating government cheese he will always vote for anyone who promises more free stuff instead of voting for what is right. The slide has begun and the socialists/dems/libs know it and are working it like a puppeteer to keep their place at the public teat.
A government which robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.

2) Bad Idea [by Anonymous Citizen on June 15, 2007] This is a bad idea and bad law. It is easy enough to register and if you vote once every 4 years you never have to re-register. If people cannot deal with that they do not deserve to vote! Reply
