>>Those who don't register themselves are the poor and otherwise disenfranchised.<< Karen - That's just an assumption, but I would guess that hard data would bear it out, at least with respect to the voters ACORN registers, since that organization intentionally concentrates its efforts in low-income neighborhoods. Over the years, I've seen the League Of Women Voters at tables set up in front of grocery stores in middle class areas. Their goal, apparently, was simply to get more people to vote, and I doubt that most the people who registered at those tables were all poor or otherwise disenfranchised. The NRA has run voter registration drives, too. Any group that follows certain rules can go out and try to get more voters to register. Nobody's stopping them. I don't see the problem. - Allen
