    "Behind the voting wars, a clash of philosophies"
    <http://electionlawblog.org/?p=43289>

I have written this cover piece 
<http://www.sacbee.com/2012/11/03/4958430/republicans-have-pursued-election.html> 
for the /Sacramento Bee'/s Sunday Forum section.  It begins:

    On Tuesday, voters will go to the polls in what is expected to be a
    nail-bitingly close presidential election. Indeed, we may wake up
    Wednesday morning, as voters did in 2000 and 2004, not knowing who
    won. If we are extremely unlucky, the election will be so close that
    it will go to a recount and possibly to the courts. The state whose
    votes are pivotal to the election outcome -- Ohio, Florida, who
    knows? -- will see its election process go under a microscope with
    full dissection in real time over Twitter and Facebook. It would get
    very ugly very quickly.

    If the election comes down to the wire in this way, and if Mitt
    Romney <http://topics.sacbee.com/Mitt+Romney/> ekes out a win, then
    a series of election changes and administrative actions pursued by
    Republican legislatures and election officials, as well as
    challenges pursued by tea party activists, may prove to have given
    him the winning margin. While crass political calculation is part of
    the explanation for Republican pursuit of these tough new voting
    rules, there is also a deeper philosophical divide between
    Republicans and Democrats over the nature of voting and democracy, a
    divide that the most recent skirmishes in the voting wars have laid
    bare.

Another snippet:

    Whether or not Republicans are genuinely concerned about voter fraud
    <http://topics.sacbee.com/voter+fraud/> -- and if they were, the
    first thing they should do is get rid of absentee ballots,
    <http://topics.sacbee.com/absentee+ballots/> which would eliminate
    the lion's share ofvoter fraud
    <http://topics.sacbee.com/voter+fraud/> issues -- a voter fraud
    <http://topics.sacbee.com/voter+fraud/> rationale cannot explain
    recent Republican cutbacks on early voting.

    In Ohio, Doug Preisse, chair of the Franklin County Republican Party
    and elections board member, offered the Columbus Dispatch a
    different explanation for his vote against extended weekend early
    voting: "I guess I really actually feel we shouldn't contort the
    voting process to accommodate the urban -- read African American --
    voter-turnout machine. ... Let's be fair and reasonable."

    But Republican cutbacks on voting go beyond the naked political
    calculation to a philosophical divide with Democrats over the nature
    of voting and elections. To many Republicans, voting is an exercise
    in choosing the best candidate. Under that philosophy, it makes
    sense to make voting harder to weed out those who might care less,
    or be less tied to the community, or be less educated or intelligent.

And:

The Democrats' philosophy about voting and elections could not be more 
different. Democrats tend to see elections as about the allocation of 
power among political equals, and it is not the state's job to decide 
who is smart enough or motivated enough to vote. Indeed, Democrats' 
concerns about these new Republican laws is not really that they 
literally will disenfranchise many voters; it is that by adding 
additional effort to the requirements to cast a ballot, these new 
Republican restrictions will deter casual voters from bothering to take 
the steps necessary to cast a ballot that will count.

    As with Republicans, the Democrats' philosophy on voting neatly ties
    in with the party's self-interest. These casual voters are going to
    be more likely to vote Democratic. Thus, proclaiming a high-minded
    commitment to universal enfranchisement also is good for Democratic
    candidates. It is no surprise that states which have adopted
    Election Day registration -- as California recently did for future
    elections -- tend to be states with Democratic-dominated
    legislatures. Nor have Democrats shown any interest in removing
    noncitizens from the rolls in the off-season, although noncitizen
    voting remains a real, if small, problem.

    The latest skirmishes in the voting wars have laid bare the
    underlying voting philosophies of the two major parties, and the
    connection of those philosophies to each party's self- interest.
    This is a fight that's taken place at the margin, in technical
    changes to voting rules. Perhaps these changes will have no effect
    at all on the identity of the next president. Or perhaps they will
    be the difference between four more years of Barack Obama and a new
    presidency under Mitt Romney.

    How Does OH Early Voting Stack Up to 2008 Totals?

    Four years ago, early voting was a option for each of the five
    weekends during the voting period. This year that was reduced to
    one. Some Ohio election boards, particularly in urban counties, have
    been reporting that fewer people have so far taken advantage of the
    in-person early-vote option this year, when polls until now have
    been open only on workdays.

    But the Ohio secretary of state's office said Saturday that,
    statewide, 1.6 million people had voted by mail or in person as of
    Friday, a figure that puts the state on track to top 2008 early-vote
    tallies.

    In Cuyahoga, 36,578 had voted as of Friday; in 2008, that number was
    54,340. In 2008, there were nine additional early voting days here,
    and 9,933 people voted on those days.

    THOUSANDS OF OHIO VOTERS LIKELY TO BE DISENFRANCHISED BECAUSE
    SECRETARY OF STATE HUSTED FAILS TO CORRECT  INADEQUATE  DATA BASE
    SEARCHES

    Beginning Tuesday October 30, Sec. of State Husted was informed by
    us that Cuyahoga County had reviewed its applications for absentee
    ballots that had been rejected for being "not registered" and had
    found it had missed 865 voters (The County immediately corrected
    this error and later found still more).  Also, in a sample of
    similar rejections from Franklin County, we had found that 38% were
    apparently mistakenly called "not registered". Therefore, we
    implored the Secretary to require a more effective search strategy
    to prevent such mistakes in all counties, but there was never a
    direct response. Instead, on Wednesday night, the Secretary's office
    sent a bulletin to all counties proposing an inadequate search
    (which we pointed out to him). As a result we believe thousands of
    voters statewide have been incorrectly informed that they "are not
    registered voters" (but told they "could" vote a provisional
    ballot).  Such voters are likely to be discouraged from voting at
    all.  The deadline has passed to send these voters absentee ballots.
    Therefore, there needs to be an immediate and broad public
    announcement that all voters who have been officially informed that
    they are "not registered" and who believe they truly are registered,
    should definitely vote a provisional ballot so that their votes
    might be counted when better searches are done on their provisional
    ballots.

    Worse yet, Sec. Husted last night released a Directive with a
    proposed search method for Boards of Elections to verify
    registration status on provisional ballots. In 2008, 18,860 of these
    were rejected as "not registered". Yet Sec. Husted's latest
      recommendations for search are entirely inadequate, likely to miss
    thousands of voters because of mis-spelling of names, variation in
    form of ID, failure to use all available tools for a reasonable
    search and other reasons (Details at www.nova-ohio.org). Once again,
    our warnings and suggestions, sent this morning, have gone
    unanswered. Unless this inadequacy is corrected, several thousand
    provisional ballots could be wrongfully rejected as "not
    registered". If the election is close, this could be a source of
    endless legal battles.  Once again, Cuyahoga County sets a model of
    best practices, because it will have poll workers record date of
    birth and address -- powerful search items -- for all provisional
    ballot voters.

Roll Call: 
<http://atr.rollcall.com/new-jersey-to-allow-voting-by-email-fax/> "New 
Jersey Lt. Gov. Kim Guadagno issued a series of directives late today 
that will allow voters displaced by Hurricane Sandy to cast absentee 
ballots by email and fax. Guadagno, a Republican, serves as the state's 
top elections official. In one of her new directives, she instructs 
county clerks to accept absentee voting applications by fax or email up 
until 5 p.m. on Election Day and to accept ballots themselves 
electronically until 8 p.m. that day. Under the directive 
<http://nj.gov/state/elections/2012-results/directive-email-voting.pdf>, 
all voters displaced by the storm are deemed to be overseas voters under

Do I love the security of email or fax voting?  Absolutely not.  Is this 
a better solution than disenfranchising these voters? Absolutely yes.

CBS News 
<http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-34222_162-57544782/active-duty-service-members-disenfranchised-by-fla-voter-purge/>: 
"Tampa-area resident and Navy captain Peter Kehring has spent more than 
30 years in the U.S. military. But due to Florida GOP Gov. Rick Scott's 
recent purge of voter rolls, Kehring will not be able to cast a vote on 
Election Day, reports Tampa CBS affiliate WTSP 
<http://www.wtsp.com/news/topstories/article/280780/250/ProtectYourVote-Service-members-removed-from-voting-rolls>....And 
he's not alone: Kehring is among 30 active and reserve service members 
in the Tampa area who have contacted the Hillsborough County Supervisor 
of Elections office, according to WTSP."

This is the danger of voter purges just before the election---false 
positives which disenfranchise eligible voters.  Voter cleanup needs to 
happen in the off-season.   Better yet, we need to rationalize and 
nationalize registration for federal elections.
