Nevada Journal: Motor Voter: A Dismal Failure: "Just what would be the policies, however? The shape that the Motor Voter law took was largely determined by two other concerns. The first concern was that poor people voted in disproportionately low numbers compared to their portion of the population. Further, a contingent of would-be policy makers suggested that registration requirements were largely to blame for the low turnout. The main intent of the Motor Voter law was to increase the dismally low turnout rates of Americans, particularly among the poor and minorities."
