Nevada Journal: Motor Voter: A Dismal Failure: "Liberals had concluded that poor people and minorities, if they voted, would likely support liberal candidates. Thus the first plank of the National Voter Registration Act was prepared by an official finding of Congress that discriminatory and unfair registration laws and procedures can have a direct and damaging effect on voter participation in elections for federal office, disproportionately harming voter participation by various groups, including racial minorities. To get poor people and minorities to register�and thus voting in accord with the earlier discussed assumption�the act mandated that registration must be allowed at federal, state, and local social-welfare agencies."
