[EL] 15, 199 voters left off list due to late submission of forms

[Bev Harris]

Submitted timely but not processed, or were not submitted by the 21-day
 deadline?

Short of same-day registration, exactly how, logistically, would you expect the
 names to get entered into the database? I've managed large-scale data entry
 projects, and they can be a nightmare when it is critical to get information
 correctly entered.

Same-day registration needs the proper controls to work properly, and I've not
 seen any interest in getting those to accompany same-day registration when it's
 been proposed. In New Hampshire, the public can never check the registration
 forms to see that they even exist -- they made that against the law. We found
 one jurisdiction where the election official just listed a bunch of first and
 last names, without even including addresses. "John Smith." "Sally Evans." etc.
 It was ridiculous.

Government is the servant of the people, and not the master of them. The
people, in delegating authority, do not give their public servants the right
to decide what is good for the people to know and what is not good for them to
know. We insist on remaining informed so that we may retain control over the
instruments of government we have created.
