Would online voter registration be a good idea?
A new bill would require states to allow online voter registration. Proponents call it a voter convenience. Critics worry about voter fraud. What do you think about online voter registration?
CRAIG WATERMAN, Tipp City: “There are other forms of registration that seem to work well, and I don’t see a fundamental reason why online registration wouldn’t work just as well.”
BRITTANY BOSWELL, Fairborn: “It’s a good idea. It’s more convenient.”
RUTH TOHT, Centerville: “I’m not a registered voter. I’ve never voted in my life. If there was online registration, I still probably wouldn’t. I don’t follow all the politics, and I think if you go and vote without knowing anything about it, you could be doing more harm than good.”
ERICA WALLACE, Dayton: “It could be good if people are honest, but there could be fraud. It’s a good idea for the elderly, if they’re Internet savvy. But for the younger group, I don’t think it’s a good idea. I think everybody should register to vote, though.”
BILL HUBER, Carlisle: “I’ve never voted in my life, and I never will, because they’re all criminals. If they’re not before they go to Washington, they are after they get there. I get a lot of flack from my family because I’m retired military.”
SIERA BRADLEY, Indianapolis: “That would be a good idea, especially for people who don’t have transportation but have a computer. It would be very convenient for them.”
