in the State House of Representatives
on May 11, 2015 by a vote of 87-54
. Purpose: To move the deadline for registering to vote in Vermont elections from the Wednesday before the election (one week before) to election day itself. This would take effect in 2017. . Analysis: Those voting YES on S.29 would allow an individual to register to vote and to vote on the same day (election day). .
Those voting NO believe this to be an invitation to voter fraud as there is not adequate opportunity for either the Town Clerk or other election monitors to verify that the persons registering to vote on election day are who they say they are, or are legal residents of where they claim to live. This also creates a logistical challenge for Town Clerks, who will have to both run the elections in their districts and, with this law, register new voters simultaneously. . Senate Journal, Monday, May 11, 2015: “Shall the report of the Committee on Government Operations be adopted? was decided in the affirmative. Yeas, 87. Nays, 54.” (Read the Journal, p. 1796-1807)
Ignorance is when never being taught the difference, where as stupidity is knowing the difference and what can happen and still doing it, This proves that our State democrats are downright stupid. 365 days a year to sign up to vote. and you morons think they should sign up right at the last moment or site. Next damn thing to communist in my thinking.
The Dems were given their marching orders…support same day voter for success in 2016. Came right from VT Democratic Party via Secretary of State Jim Condos.
Voter Fraud is an issue yes, but also if you can’t get off your lazy a$$, to get out and register to vote…too bad. I do believe you can register in advance of an approaching birthday already…so again, get out and register, or we’ll see you next year.
Many people have asked me how is it that so many liberals keep getting elected in Vermont when it seems that everyone I know is a conservative. The last few years it has started to become clearer as to how, it’s called voter fraud.

I can’t believe we have elected so many morons to the Vermont House……and if this passes the Senate and is signed into Law, we’ll have even more.
Diane, I agree with you 100%. Now there will be more voter fraud.
