Comment: The Secretary of State assumes that the 47% of those registered through "motor-voter" who voted wouldn't have just registered on their own anyway.  We were registered via motor-voter simply because we moved back into the state last year and were getting new drivers licenses. So if they hadn't have registered us at the DMV, we would have taken the minimal effort it takes to register ourselves.  So now we will forever be used to support motor-voter stats?  If you can't be bothered to mail in a post card, I say don't bother voting. We have enough ignorant voters as it is.
