By Hook or By Crook - How Democrats Plan to win in 2010 and 2012

Between 2 and 4 million Americans were unable to vote in the last election because of problems with their registration. And that's just people who tried to vote; in 2006, there were more than 65 million who were eligible to vote, but weren't even registered. That's a third of potential voters. [snip]

As with too much else in America, the divide between the registered and the unregistered isn't neutral. The think tank Demos estimates that while 80 percent of citizens in households making $100,000 or more a year are registered to vote, only 60 percent of those making less than $25,000 a year can say the same. (May 22, 2009, The Nation)

And so the chatter begins for "universal voter registration", whether you want to register to vote or not, the government will register you anyway. And if you don't vote, will the government, a/k/a Democrats step in and vote for you???

The plan, as I understand it, is to use existing welfare rolls, state unemployment rolls, property tax rolls, driver licenses rolls, and who know what other lists. Next the Democrats will attempt to get amnesty for illegal aliens, get them covered under the government health care (if and when it passes), and they will be registered to vote.

The methods the Obama administration will use are: “universal” voter registration, an amnesty bill to allow “illegal” aliens to vote in U.S. elections, community ”activism” funded by stimulus and jobs bills, the SOS program funded by billionaire George Soros to help elect liberal Secretaries of State, and rigging the computerized voting apparatus. [snip]

Would twelve to 45 million illegal aliens be enough to sway an election? The “slush” funds could pay the $500 fee for all of them, plus a network of community activists to encourage all the new “Americans” to vote Democratic. [snip]

There is also the out-and-out “rigging” of the voting process, for which the groundwork is being laid by the Obama administration. James Simpson, formerly of the Office and Management and Budget, has followed the latest moves:

“… Obama has gotten four sympathetic “technical advisors” appointed to the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. One of these, Edwin Smith, VP of Dominion Voting Systems, has been called a “scammer” by the Brad Blog, known for its expertise on e-voting machines. (Patriots for America, hat tip Marcus Wilder)

From a video tip on Twitter featuring John Fund on some potential legislation coming soon to Congress.

Michelle Malkin had a report on the topic back in November. John Stossel was also on this while still with ABC. (Riehl World View)

Fund describes the proposal as follows:

In January, Chuck Schumer and Barney Frank will propose universal voter registration. What is universal voter registration? It means all of the state laws on elections will be overridden by a federal mandate. The feds will tell the states: 'take everyone on every list of welfare that you have, take everyone on every list of unemployed you have, take everyone on every list of property owners, take everyone on every list of driver's license holders and register them to vote regardless of whether they want to be ...'

Fund anticipates that Congress will attempt to ram this legislation through, as with the health care bill. What a surprise! Fund covers the vote issue at greater length in his book, How the Obama Administration Threatens to Undermine Our Elections.

[snip]

It is not surprising that the Democrats are now choosing to push this new initiative, for universal voter registration will be Motor Voter on turbochargers. And who better to sign it into law than the president from ACORN? (American Thinker)

Scary stuff folks. Prior to the 2008 elections and prior to the first year of the Obama Administration, I would probably have written off stuff like this as conspiracy. I'm not so sure any more and I'm not surprised at anything that happens under Barack Obama.
