Voter registration drives

Hmmm.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Alabama Prisons Commissioner Richard Allen stopped a voter registration drive for inmates Thursday under pressure from the Alabama Republican Party.

In a letter to state Republican Party Chairman Mike Hubbard, Allen said individuals conducting the program "were not doing anything for the inmates that they could not do themselves by simply contacting the Secretary of State's Office for the voter registration postcard."

And, couldn't that be said about any voter registration drive anywhere? I guess we should stop them all since they're, "not doing anything for people that the people couldn't do for themselves."
