When it comes to Republican governors imposing harsh, new voting restrictions, New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (R) is hardly the first name that pops up. The Republican vetoed an early-voting bill last year, he?s offered some odd criticisms of same-day registration recently, and he played some shameless political games when scheduling his state?s U.S. Senate special election last year, but in general, Christie isn?t known for electoral mischief, at least not by contemporary GOP standards.

But that?s all the more reason to take note of Christie?s comments this week on ?voting mechanisms.? The Bergen Record reported this morning:
Governor Christie pushed further into the contentious debate over voting rights than ever before, saying Tuesday that Republicans need to win gubernatorial races this year so that they?re the ones controlling ?voting mechanisms? going into the next presidential election.

Christie stressed the need to keep Republicans in charge of states ? and overseeing state-level voting regulations ? ahead of the next presidential election.
In remarks to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the New Jersey governor said, ?Would you rather have Rick Scott in Florida overseeing the voting mechanism, or Charlie Crist? Would you rather have Scott Walker in Wisconsin overseeing the voting mechanism, or would you rather have Mary Burke? Who would you rather have in Ohio, John Kasich or Ed FitzGerald??
