I am watching last night's Real Time with Bill Maher, where one Rick Laszio is talking. He's the fellow Hillary Clinton beat to become Senator Clinton. Just yesterday, Hillary called for automatic voter registration at age 18 unless people opt out, a very sensible rule, along with 20 days of early voting. Rick Laszio's response? "Her home state, which I'm quite familiar with--she was a senator from New York--has one day. Why was she not saying anything about it when she was in a position of authority to do something about it?"
Err, Rick, because setting the rules for how people vote in a state are set by state legislators. Congress doesn't enter into it. When she was the junior senator from New York, she had no standing to make a rules change. She was not a state senator, she was a Senator going to Washington DC.
How hard is this to understand?
