In what way was my statement incorrect? Set that evaluation in the context of
the long-standing and well published administrative requirements. Please also
point out what is missing from my statement. I am puzzled.

The lack of response is a weak indication of anything. One can reasonably
infer that there was not a swell of vehement opposition; that tends to 
appear when it exists. However, the strongest inference to be drawn is that
hardly anybody really cared about the issue. That is neither support nor
condemnation. 

The registration process demands demonstrated support. A lack of response to
a polling is not a demonstration of support. Neither is it substantial
opposition.
