"The increases in turnout would be greatest among the uneducated and would progressively dwindle among well-educated people," Raymond E. Wolfingcr of UC Berkeley said.

"It is a short and tempting step from these findings to the conclusion that registration reform would produce a drastically changed electorate that would (favor) the Democratic Party. "But, short and tempting as this leap might be," he said, "it is also wrong." Wolfingcr, among witnesses at a hearing on an Assembly bill that would establish election-day voter registration in California, said his projections stemmed from a hypothetical 1972 electorate based on a massive nationwide Census Bureau sample. Wolfingcr said in the 1972 general election, 51.1 of those who went to the polls called themselves Democrats or Independents "closer to" the Democratic Party. "With the ballot more accessible because of easier registration requirements, this Democratic share of the electorate would have gone up just three-tenths of a percentage point, to 51.4," he said. Wolfingcr acknowledged that elections have been decided by fractions of a per cent, "but such tiny differences in poll results arc not considered significant by people familiar with the limitations of survey research." Such a minisculc advantage "would do very little, if anything, for Democratic voting strength," he said.
