Federal vote law aims to expand turnout and curb barriers
A new bill to mandate a federal voter registration step was outlined. It would require applicants to supply name address age and length of residence. If local registrars fail to register, federal registrars would be appointed by the Civil Service Commission. Federal registrars would operate in districts with 50 percent non registration or non voting. Ballots would be impounded where people are not allowed to vote until they are given a chance.
