Schumer and John Conyers plan to propose universal voter-registration legislation – possibly within weeks

What do liberals do when they lose elections? They change the rules. This is what John Fund of the Wall Street Journal told a crowd in November 2009, at a David Horowitz Freedom Center forum, after the devastating Governorship loses for liberals in New Jersey and Virginia. Well, get ready for one of those “changes”. Fund has told World Net Daily that Sen. Schumer and Rep. John Conyers of Michigan, plan to propose universal voter-registration legislation – possibly within weeks.

“Schumer is definitely introducing a bill,” Fund told WND. “It’s not public yet, but he’s definitely going to do so.”

A congressional staffer confirmed Schumer’s involvement.

“What we know from statements from advocacy groups that support universal voter registration is that they have been working with Sen. Schumer’s office since approximately last spring to create a bill,” the staffer told WND. “We don’t know exactly when he will introduce it, but it has been predicted to be introduced in the near future for several months now. Schumer definitely has been, and seems to be, the point person on this.”

Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.

Neither Schumer’s office nor Conyers’ office has returned WND’s numerous calls and e-mails requesting comment.

While Schumer has yet to publicly share the plans, the staffer said advocacy groups have published materials calling for the use of a wide range of government lists and databases to add people to voter registration rolls.

Fund said the health-care reform negotiations are lasting longer than expected, so he anticipates the universal voter registration legislation may be introduced in February or later. The congressional staffer said he believes a bill passed this year would probably take effect in time for the 2012 election.

Fund discusses the topic in his November 2009 book, “How the Obama Administration Threatens to Undermine Our Elections.”

“The idea, embraced by Barack Obama when he was a presidential candidate, is to shift responsibility for registering to vote from the individual to the federal government,” Fund writes in his book. “All eligible citizens would automatically be registered to vote, which existing lists such as DMV records, income-tax returns, welfare rolls and unemployment lists being used to enroll everyone. Once registered, individuals would stay on the federal rolls, even if they move to another state or district.”
