[Magdalen] Electoral Register (was Re: Kim Davis ordered to jail.)

My dear Roger, that's the whole point. Keeps the Democrat-voting hoi polloi 
away from the ballot box and helps keep the Republicans in.

That tax rebate will certainly be an incentive to those on low incomes
or welfare to file their return.  Sometimes the US approach to compiling
the voters' register amazes me in the way it introduces extra hurdles to
be overcome.  If somebody is a citizen then make it as easy as possible
for them to reguster since that is what democracy means.
