I can only echo the sentiments of the many, many comments that have preceded mine: that the proposed changes are unnecessary, confusing and open the door WIDE to voter fraud. Why in the world does the State Board of Elections think it's a good idea to remove the requirement to affirmatively state that the applicant is a legal US citizen, has not been convicted of a felony, and has not been found mentally incompetent? These are legal qualifications to vote and an applicant should not have the option to ignore the questions pertaining to such.
Thank you for the opportunity to comment.
