That's our concern, and our officials have said that this runs the risk of disenfranchising people. This is driving us crazy. We already have a registry. It's being abolished—it's not broken—and then you can't even apply to vote until after the writ is dropped. It looks to us as if it's just more of this government's intent to have fewer people vote. They like the idea.
That's us. That's political. I don't expect you to respond to it, but clearly that's what's going on. It's yet one more step in voter suppression, to try to keep as few people as possible voting on election day, which the government knows historically and demographically is to their advantage.
I thank you, Chair.
