A 72 page bill to drastically change the state’s election laws is being discussed in a senate committee Thursday. Opponents of the legislation say it would keep thousands of people from voting.
“It’s like they looked at everything that went right last election, everything we did right, and said how can we make sure this never happens again,” said Heather Walker a spokeswoman with the League of Women Voters.
The bill provides strict penalties for groups failing to turn in voter application with in two days of a registration drive… discourages people from voting if they move within a month of an election… and forces TV cameras 100 feet away from voting lines.
