Lehmann believes voting is a fundamental right and responsibility of all citizens and should not be subject to political influences that create obstacles to people voting.
For 230 years since the U.S.Constitution was adopted, our electoral system has been an object of controversy, and is once again controversial in 2020 with the changes being made because of the coronavirus, he said.
As secretary of state, I will press for universal suffrage for all citizens where all registration deadlines and qualifying rules will be eliminated, he said.
Under his plan, every citizen would be automatically registered to vote at 18. Each county clerk would mail out a coded ballot to every citizen residing in their county. The voter must have the marked ballot postmarked or placed in a drop box by the day of the election to be counted. All mailings would be treated as priority mail by the Postal System.
Think of the millions of dollars and the tons of grief that can be saved by making the electoral system truly democratic and truly fair, Lehmann said.
