Do you accept this new method of Censuses? ---OFFICIAL---

Being reasonably active is enough to run for an office. Besides, as it was pointed out this would violate the bill of rights, and even if it didn't, it'd need to be an ammendment to alter the voting requirements in my opinion at least.

To sum up, Id rather not have to remember repetitive redundant sign up processes, and my guess is at least a few people would end up getting excluded by it because of their sporadic real life schedules or their own forgettfulness.

a month may be too short, but surely you have three seconds every sixty days ...

jdd - a lot of us are very lazy; that is the very reason I am on the 'Net instead of doing work.

You can fight apathy, but why bother?

EDIT: Having read this and related threads thoroughly, I agree with civman's thoughts that the amendment attached to this could disallow people from voting, even though they actually COULD vote. In this way not only is it not fair on some who want to participate but don't have the presenc of mind to seek help on how to do so, but it is essentially pointless. If we have no means of enforcing such an idea, what is it there for? At least the census we have at the moment is non-binding, and more for information purposes.

first of all it isnt an ammendment and secondly, it could not bar people from voting, in any circumstance. we could make it so, but currently it says nothing about the subject

at the moment its 14-11 against the censuses like they are held now. i wonder why the other poll seems to come out in favor of the censuses.
now what should i do?
