It worked and it worked well. as our dismal record of voter participation clearly demonstrates. This is not the 19th century. America has come a long way in the past 73 years. I have no doubt but that descendants of some of the very immigrants at whom early registration laws were largely aimed are sitting in this Chamber today. We have come that far. But those old laws are. in very many places still working to restrict the access of many working people. of poor people. of aged people. of the infirm and of rural people to the voting booth.
