Just about anyone with a pen, a
pack of cards and a passion for
politics is hard at work registering
new voters in the biggest effort to
expand the rolls in two decades.
By the Nov. 5 election, some
20 million Americans will have
registered or updated addresses,
mostly through the driver’s li
cense bureaus that gave the law
its name. A breakdown isn’t
available on how many of those
are new registrants, but every
one involved agrees the number
is substantial.
And the early evidence suggests
the law is helping Republicans as
much or more than Democrats.
The national totals would be
even larger if some of the biggest
states — including California,
Pennsylvania and Illinois — hadn’t
resisted implementing the law.
They fought the federal govern
ment in court and lost.

Morales challenges Gramm’s drug policy recoi

REED MCDONALD on Ireland Street
AUSTIN (AP) — Democratic U.S. Senate can
didate Victor Morales on Monday accused in
cumbent Republican Phil Gramm of voicing
support for the Drug Abuse Resistance Educa
tion program while repeatedly voting against it.
“Texans know Phil Gramm’s reputation for
saying one thing in Texas and voting another
way in Washington, but this is getting ridicu
lous,” Morales said.
Morales, a Mesquite teacher, was referring
to a comment made by Gramm in Sunday
night’s televised senatorial forum in which
Gramm said he had worked with and support
ed the DARE program to prevent drug use
among youth.
Gramm spokesman Larry Neal said Gramm
three times has voted against bills that included
funding for DARE due to other reasons, includ
ing one measure with an amendment “that
would have busted the budget Lry $3 billion.”
Neal said Gramm, as chairman of an appro
priations subcommittee, helped write legisla
tion last year that fully funded DARE.
“There is hardly a town in Texas where Phil
Gramm hasn’t visited and stood up for the
DARE program,” Neal said. “If Victor Morales
wants to know where Phil Gramm stands on
DARE, all he has to do is get on the phone and
call any DARE officer in Texas.”
Morales spokesman Steve Hall said Gramm
voted against bills containing funding for DARE
on Feb. 7, 1990, again on Oct. 5, 1994, and on
March 12 of this year.
“This is typical Grammstanding,” Hall said.
“He wants to take credit for a good program,
but when it comes down to it, he always finds
some reason to vote against it, even if he is one
of a handful.”
Neal said Gramm voted againsttk
bill because it would have created a A)
school board "literally run by theNatioai j( e
ucation Association and American
of Teachers.
“You bet Phil Gramm is opposed to j e ‘ r:
Neal said. “1 le is in favor of local
itiu by local parents, not a nationals!
board run by Victor Morales’ teachers'ui
Neal said Gramm voted againsttlie
bill because it didn’t include a
voluntary prayer in schools and:
against this year’s bill because it ini
amendment that Neal said “bustedthel
get by $3 billion.”
Morales, who initially declinedto
Gramm one-on-one due to scheduling
flicts, now is challenging Grammtoa
