Registration can be key to new victories.
Voter registration can transform a lot of our electoral and political life. As Errol Lewis remarks every now and again, NYC Housing Authority residents number 500,000 people. The conditions of their housing, however, reflects their lack of political power. When they're registered and they vote, even the most complacent of our mis-leaders will pay attention. We should not be running a single event or protest without a voter registration component. (Myself, I do not think that machine clubs have any idea what to do with voters so it doesn't really matter whether they register them.)
