I'm not sure how I feel about this law. How do you distinguish between those who are lazy and leech off society as opposed to honest people who may be collecting unemployment, but who have trouble finding a stable job? Between mid 2009 and mid 2010, I was unemployed. I didn't choose to be that way. The place I worked at closed down. I collected unemployment for a year. I honestly couldn't find a job. I don't think it would have been fair to deny my right to vote (even though the 2010 elections took place after I found a job).



Scott Brown doesn't actually want people on welfare to note vote.  That's just taking out of context the fact that Scott Brown is angry that a specific action is being taken, that wasn't before to go way out of the way to help his opponent with government funds... by the other candidates daughter.

An analogus situation would be if John Kaish in Ohio suddenly passed a massive government funded initative to register rural voters.
