Nevada Journal: Motor Voter: A Dismal Failure: "Motor Voter had a number of assumptions at its core. Generally, however, the assumptions are based on faulty reasoning and, frequently, agenda-driven scientific studies. Somewhere, at sometime, someone realized that there was a high level of voting by people who are registered to vote. In addition, some individuals came to the conclusion that registration was a very difficult process, perhaps even more difficult than voting on election day. Since the goal was to increase voter turnout, the idea arose that if everyone were registered, then everyone would vote. These two assumptions led to a belief in the need for policies that require the process of voter registration to be extremely simple."
