Chicago, IL-(ENEWSPF)- Cook County Clerk David Orr issued the following statement about Governor Bruce Rauner's veto of the automatic voter registration bill:
With today’s veto, Gov. Bruce Rauner condemned 700,000 hard working Illinoisans to another unnecessary interaction with government. I am greatly disappointed by the governor’s veto of SB 250, the Automatic Voter Registration bill that was passed with bi-partisan support in the state legislature in May. Automatic Voter Registration is a proven good government measure that would have significantly helped modernize and streamline the state’s voter registration rolls, while taking the registration . . .
