If you read what I wrote instead of looking for a reason to oppose what was written you would understand that 1. No one’s voters rights are in jeopardy- only in the minds of liberals. if you can get a drivers license you can register to vote. 2. There is no document confusion. 3. There are no ID requirements in Maryland to vote. 4. You don’t even need to go to the polls to vote! As for the legislature there is a short amount of time to accomplish a large agenda … a $3B shortfall should be a priority fixing something that ain’t broke is a waste of valuable time.

They present many different bills and acts on the floor. The budget deficit is not related to protection of voter rights, it is fallacy to conflate the two issues in such a way. When federal laws are threatening our rights, it is up to the states to push back and protect their residents. How can you claim to be in favor of voter rights while standing against enshrining our rights in our state? Acts like this one are made to protect the values you claim to hold here, and working to pass this act does not mean our state legislature is pulling their focus from the budget deficit. If you want to talk about proposals and legislation surrounding the budget issue, then focus on that. There are plenty of concerns about how maryland is planning to handle our deficit, this is not one of them.
