Is the DNC trying to lose?

[Scuba]

If not, why does their website have not a single link to information about registering to vote?

I know my own state's Democratic Party website also has no links to any information about registering to vote. Might help explain why Scott Walker has won three gubernatorial elections.

I'm not claiming that this demonstrates that party leaders want us to lose, but it sure makes you wonder.

Does your state's party website have voter registration information?

1. TX Democrats website has a large register to vote button on the homepage.

2. I don't get it-- NY doesn't have a registration link either, but...

at the local level we're big on registration drives-- getting new registrants and trying to get people to switch to Dem.

Could they simply be assuming anyone opening the page is already registered? If so, are they nuts?

3. Neither does the RNC site.

So, I'm thinking there's a reason for it...

5. Does their tax status limit their voter registration activities

in any states? Just a thought as to why. Otherwise I'm guessing they assume if someone is politically engaged enough to go to the website, they are probably already a registered voter. Not that I agree with that assumption.

6. i'm sure they prefer to win

but it is not as high a priority as maintaining the diseased status quo.

7. Yep, there's a link on Iowa's home page.

9. OR maybe they are just waiting until -AFTER- the primaries and caucuses

to push to get people registered.

Complex problem, in which timing is important.

Timing can make doing the right thing the wrong thing.

I have no doubt that there will be a registration and GOTV push...when the time is -right-.

10. Neither the California Democratic Party website

nor our local County Democratic Party website has voter registration information or links.

11. they don't want new voters in the primaries. Low turnout favors the establishment candidates.

14. Maybe

They're too interested in getting money from rich people, and not interested enough in getting votes from working people.

15. NC Democratic Party has a link!

And they'd better since the Republicans have gerrymandered us to hell and back as well as written
requirements for photo ID's in order to vote in 2016.
