I bet you thought that ObamaCare was about health care, the cost of health care and covering those in need? You were wrong—it is an effort by the LEFT to register voters, even if they have to force people to register and then be forced to vote.
“The American Civil Liberties Union of California says the state’s health care exchange is violating federal and state law by failing to provide new enrollees with adequate voter registration opportunities.
The ACLU of California says Covered California lags behind most other state exchanges in putting voter registration options front and center in on-line and paper applications.
Why is this even an issue with Covered California—this is just another ACLU abuse of the courts and a joke on the system. Someone needs to sue the ACLU for their abuse of the system. What do you think?
ACLU Critical of Covered California Voter Registration Process
By Max Pringle, Capital Public Radio, 11/25/13
The American Civil Liberties Union of California says the state’s health care exchange is violating federal and state law by failing to provide new enrollees with adequate voter registration opportunities.
The ACLU of California says Covered California lags behind most other state exchanges in putting voter registration options front and center in on-line and paper applications.
“Almost all the other states have managed to incorporate voter registration,” says Lori Shellenberger with the ACLU. “We think it’s important for them to make this a priority.”
Covered California’s Sarah Sol says the exchange website has a voter registration button. “Also in our paper application,” she adds “there’s a question in the frequently asked questions section at the very end of the application where people can read – what do I need to do in order to register to vote?”
Sol says Covered California is also hiring a voter registration coordinator.
The ACLU says it’s giving Covered California until December 16 to improve the voter registration component of its application process, or legal action may be filed.
