These people fought--some of them were beaten, some of them were killed--because of their desire to ensure that everybody that wanted to had the right to register to vote and participate in the process. I'm not going to cheapen the work that they did. I'm not going to embarrass them by allowing somebody that's too sorry to get up off of their rear to go register to vote.
Merrill argues against automatic voter registration, claiming it undermines civil rights leaders' efforts.

Significant Federal overreach has been indicated through the introduction of this legislation.
The only people that need to be voting in U.S. elections are United States citizens.
Much like Thomas Jefferson suggested that that government which governs best governs least. That is the sum of good government.
A good election security bill would be one that would create the necessary resources to the States without creating unfunded or underfunded mandates.
