Democrats hail Carter election reform package in push for universal voting
Democrats in Congress praised President Carter s universal voter registration plan to allow voting without prior registration for federal elections with age citizenship and ID requirements. Republicans led by Sen John Tower criticized the proposal as risky while Mondale defended safeguards including fines up to 1000000 and 16 years jail for violations. The package also seeks a constitutional amendment abolishing the Electoral College and direct national vote for president along with extending public financing for House and Senate races and revising campaign subsidies rules. Senator Edward Kennedy backed election day registration as boosting turnout and democracy while Republican Leader Howard Baker supported direct elections but objected to federal funds for congressional campaigns.
