Alabama Secretary of State John Merrill (R) explaining his fierce opposition to the policy.

“I don’t think that just because your birthday comes around, that you ought to be registered to vote.” He then listed a litany of voting rights advocates – including Rep. John Lewis, Martin Luther King, and Rosa Parks – and declared:

“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 end to go register to vote … because they think they deserve the right because they’ve turned 18.”


nder the 26th Amendment to the United States Constitution, turning 18 does, indeed, give an American citizen the right to vote. So Merrill’s statement that ‘just because you turned 18 doesn’t give you the right to do anything’ is not only contradictory to basic values of citizenship and democratic engagement in America. It’s also just plain wrong.”

Finally, Merrill specifically mentioned Rep. John Lewis (D-Ga.), a civil rights pioneer, as a reason not to adopt AVR. The problem with this is, John Lewis is still around and we can ask him if agrees. In fact, we don’t have to ask: Lewis has already said he loves automatic voter registration and wants more states to adopt it.
 
You are a degenerate piece of trash!

You are a moron!

You think an amendment from the 1970s is representative of the "basic" values of the Constitution? What a buffoon!

Anyway, ignoring your total ignorance of America's foundational principles and values, you think that simply being 18 is what should determine if a Citizen has the right to vote?

Idiotic, scum like you is why America is going down the shitter...

Ummm, yes. An American citizen of legal age has the right to vote. Pretty much was all that was required for me to vote the 1st time.
 
People, please for the sake of all that is holy and sane, try not to quote these hateful trolls. Please.
 
Bad link .

Meh, you think somebody too lazy to register will correct their bad link?
Or even bother to check to see if it works or not?
Too funny.

"And those people are not the people who we need leading this country, and they’re not the people who will be trying to find a way to change the future of our country to ensure that all of our citizens are treated fairly and equally and have an opportunity to achieve at the level that they desire," he continued. "And so if you’re too sorry or lazy to get up off of your rear and to go register to vote, or to register electronically, and then to go vote, then you don’t deserve that privilege."

Amendments can be...amended. Shocker.
Really, who here has a problem with the above?

P.S. I'm kinda giggling that it's the Neo-Libtards who automatically equate working & effort as white, and lazy people as black.
Check your outrage privilege.

They are (D)'s ....their racism doesn't count because they are soooooo progressive.
 
I see UnRealAmerican has yet another iteration thanks to the banhammer and still has as much knowledge and respect for the Constiution as ever.... None.

He should ask for a refund for his GED classes.

You think he even graduated from his GED class?
 
That's funny coming from someone like you, makes me laugh!

Laughter is often the last resort of those with severely limited capacity when faced with something they can't possibly understand. You've demonstrated a complete lack of knowledge regarding the Constitution.

The founders built in the ability to modify the constitution, and even replace it completely should the citizens decide to, for good reason. They were smart enough to know that they couldn't possibly anticipate everything that should be included and so left it open for modification as times and the will of the people changed.

Unfortunately for you, and fortunately for the rest of us, your will does not reflect that of the majority of U.S. Citizens. You're a vestigial organ being removed from the body politic through natural selection.
 
Seems like we have a complaint in search of a victim. I cant seem to put my finger on the name(s) of the people the private opinion harmed.

Ha! Loser!

They're not my words. I was just quoting the article.

Also, thank Bog, I'm not American! You have more to do with America going down the shitter than I do. I'm just an obnoxious guy from England and Kanuckistan.

Sucker!


Oh by the way. IGGIED!
 
He has a point against automatic voter registration ,and I am inclined to agree with him ,providing registering to vote is relatively easy .
 
Ha! Loser!

So not only are you stupid, but also a liar... everyone can see that it was your words not just the text of the 26th Amendment.

You don't know a damn thing about the Constitution. There is no such thing as a US Citizen, the States are sovereign countries united as a nation.

All that US Citizen shit is from the 14th Amendment. And don't make me laugh too hard with your ignorance of the Founding Fathers.

Shit like you can never comprehend their wisdom or spirit, you are a parasite!

In fact your medical terminology is more poignant when one realize that you scum changing this nation are simply viruses that have infected the cells and using it to replicate more of your kind...

This majority you speak of are not actual citizens and have no right to vote.
