Saturday May 20, 2006 So I'm filling out my DMV form, here in CA, and I come to a section that says VOTER REGISTRATION. What the heck? Since when has voting had anything to do with driving?
Over the page, I find the voter registration form and it is then that I see something truely horrifying - a section for you to nominate your party, oh, and one out of the 8 squares says "I decline".
Doesn't anyone realise that even attempting to collect this kind of information, on the kind of scale that this represents, is dangerous? Why does the DMV care at all whether or not you vote? Not only should this question not exist, but this whole form belongs somewhere else.
It is one thing for each party to have a list of its own members or registered voters, but it is alltogether completely different for a government body to even attempt to collect this kind of information. But when the time comes for them to ask people to line up against the wall, they will know which doors to start knocking on...
