[RP TownTalk] More on "Voter Expansion"

[Liz Bolin]

At the outset, this strikes me as what I call “feel good” legislation. I would certainly feel proud that I live in a progressive town that passes legislation aimed at equality for all residents. But if it’s not effective in actually driving that to  reflect in increased voter turn out and engagement, it’s just a lot of wasted time.

All

This legislation may preclude any candidate running on a "law and order" platform from getting elected in our Town.  Illegal immigrants will vote against such a candidate for obvious reasons.  One could argue there are significant partisan overtones in this legislation which may be the reason it is being proposed.
