Ocean County Clerk Takes Issue With Voter Registration Service

The Asbury Park Press reports that Ocean County Clerk Carl Block is upset about a website (http://www.iwanttovote.com/), which is charging people to complete voter registration forms electronically for a fee of $9.95 while voters can, of course, register for free. According to the article, the website acknowledges that voter registration is free, but that it is providing a service similar to tax preparation services to ensure voters are properly registered. I wonder how many more businesses such as this will surface during this presidential election year, which is likely to garner high voter turnout and include many new voters.
