In California when you register to vote, you do so under penalty of perjury. Then they cross-check your information to make sure that you are eligible. Then we have a very active district attorney in Orange County that says if you violated this under penalty of perjury, we are going down on you. Instead, I would ask my friends, my colleagues on the other side of the aisle: Let's do everything we can to make sure that every eligible American actually votes. Why would you take away the right of a veteran to vote, of a senior to vote, of somebody in the military to vote? Let's go the other way. Democracy is stronger when we have stronger participation. Vote ``no,'' and let's move on with democracy.
