but i think there is a very distinct difference between:
A) not encouraging people who wouldn't normally vote to get registered and vote at the last minute.
and...
B) "prevent or limit the registration of new voters."
do you see the difference? a lack of active encouragement doesn't mean that anyone is being prevented or limited. in fact, i think that is the most populace-minded standpoint (uh oh, i'm starting to form opinions! lol ) for this reason: why should some segments of the population be given focused opportunities to register to vote while others are left to do it on their own? wouldn't it be the most fair to let the people from all walks of life to register if they like and leave them alone if they didn't?
again, i'm not talking about changes in government laws or anything. it isn't a matter or "can we?" or "can we not?", it's more of a "should we?" or "should we not?"
