Juaquin Avila and Barbara Seitle have written this oped for the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. It begins: “When it comes to voter registration reform, some local activists want the state of Washington to use a sledgehammer for a task that needs a scalpel (“Serious election reform is critical,” March 14). They are demanding the state start from scratch and re-register every voter. This approach would violate the National Voting Rights Act and disenfranchise large groups of voters. A full re-registration creates problems rather than solving them.”
