If some one will be 18 the next day, do you think it is fair to deny that a person their right to vote especially since no election date has been set?
Did you purchase a new machine? Every time myself, family and friends come to sign up for the card, that machine always not working.
Why are you setting deadlines on registration when election is still two years away. Do you know something we don’t.
