Like unfettered amnesty in the immigration bill will be GREAT for the Democrat Party on the national scale, the universal voter registration bill would have been a big boon to Oregon Democrat registration. Democrats already already enjoy a 183,000 person registration advantage according to Willamette Week, but a move like universal registration (No-questions, No answers, No problem-here’s-your-ballot) would have consolidated the one party rule for generations.

And a Democrat snuffed it out.

Betsy Johnson of Scappoose in Oregon’s Columbia County figured she might actually have to show up at the Grange Hall and talk to ‘the folks’ someday, so figured she’d better actually vote like they’d want. She also helped on some of the key anti gun bills in the legislature.

Now crazy Howard Dean is after her as noted by Willamette Week in this post. But it looks as if she’s undaunted,

“I cast a vote based on a deeply held personal conviction inculcated by my mother and grandmother,” she says. “It is already so easy to register in Oregon. It’s not unduly burdensome to ask people to register before exercising the great privilege of voting.”
