Comment re Voter Registration Form Proposed Changes
 

It seems to me, common sense demands leaving the citizen and felon check boxes on the form. Upon seeing these boxes, the prospective voter has an opportunituy to make a decision regardiong his or her qualifications to be a voter, and whether or not to accept the consequences of falsely claiming to qualify. Embedding the requirements in a certification which most people don't read is not a suitable alternative. Moreover, I think most prospective voters would be proud to check these two boxes.
