Nothing Drastic May 12, 2008

The New York Times profiles what may be a Missouri constitutional amendment that will require those who register to vote to submit proof of citizenship. They go on and on like it’s such an extreme and drastic proposal, but they are virtually the same as Missouri’s driver’s license law enacted about three years ago.
Actually, I have never been a fan of merely registering to vote by filling out a postcard and sending it in the mail. The method of registering to vote should be one where, with a few exceptions, one should show a little bit of ambition in order to register to vote.
Unlike California, it’s not yet the case in Missouri that there is a huge problem with illegal aliens voting. The bigger problem is the voter fraud that revolves around the political machines of natural-born citizenry of a certain type. These measures would not deter such fraud.
Also, I wish the General Assembly would submit the MCRI as a constitutional amendment up for the vote this fall, or better yet, enact it as a matter of legislation. That way, the Ward Connerly organization wouldn’t have had to try to pound the pavement to gather signatures.
