Lisa J. Danetz of Demos, a nonpartisan public policy center focused on expanding democratic participation, affirmed Slater's testimony that registration is not being offered at public agencies in many states. In her testimony, Danetz reflected on the possible causes of the breakdown at the state agencies, saying, "This is not necessarily because of a deliberate effort to defy the law; it may just be that a lack of consistent oversight and training combined with high level of staff turnover at agencies has caused the issue to fall off the radar screen in many places."
