NY senator calls adding voter registration to hunting license forms an 'NRA voter assistance act'

SYRACUSE, N.Y. - A proposal in Albany to make it easier for hunters and anglers to register to vote has been dubbed the "NRA voter assistance act" by one critical lawmaker.

The proposal would make voter registration an option for people who buy hunting and fishing licenses through the state's Department of Environmental Conversation.

Already, people who interact with other government agencies - including the Department of Motor Vehicles, social service agencies and unemployment offices - can register to vote while renewing a driver's license or applying for other public programs.

1. I see no difference between this and DMV voter registration. .

2. Umm, "Motor-Voter?" Who opposes that? nt

3. Republicans have been long critical of Motor-Voter

And they flipped out about the ACA registration including some kind of links to voter registration.

6. Let the GOPers piss their pants. Register to vote with

any state licensing, permitting, taxing event. Only helps get more people on the rolls. I have no prob with that.

4. We should make it easier for everyone to register, even for folks likely to have differing

Political viewpoints. That's the right thing to do and it's what makes us better than them.

5. It is...

but some of our elected officials forget that...
