Congressman John Conyers Introduces Bill on Voting Procedures

Earlier this year, Congressman John Conyers (D-Michigan) introduced HR 108. All of these points only relate to federal elections. The bill would outlaw vote-counting machines that have no audit trail; it would provide that provisional ballots are not invalid just because they were cast in the wrong precinct; it would require all states to permit election-day registration; and it would require all states to permit early voting, in the period starting 15 days before election day. Thanks to Election Administration Reports for this news. So far, the bill has no co-sponsors.

  1. Conyers won in the MI gerrymander primary in 1964 — thus a Donkey gerrymander robot in an inner city ghetto district since 1965 in the gerrymander Congress — a mere 45 plus years.

    How many ghetto distict Donkeys are leftwing usual suspects — for decades at a time ???

  2. This sounds like a reasonable, thoughtful solution to very important voting rights reform issues. Support it as well, by contacting your own U.S. Representative.
    Enough of this partisan campaigning by the Republicans on their own voting rights reforms presently going on across the nation….

  3. Paper mail ballots.

    Oregon survives.

    Makes life a bit more difficult for the party hacks and their attack ads — ignored by the voters who vote early in Oregon as soon as they get their ballots in the mail.

  4. Conyers should eliminate any official political activity more than 6 months prior to the start of the term, and require that any voter may vote for any candidate in any primary or general election.
