"Kansas and Alabama now require would-be voters to provide proof of citizenship before registering"

THEY WERE Cleared of any charges,

Provide your social security number. It will be verified with the Social Security Administration while you are in the office.

Verify your birth date and legal presence If your current name no longer matches the name on your birth data/legal presence document, see “True Full Name” and “How to Change Your Name” for more information.

Bluering here is the fact - your California driver's license is insufficient proof of citizenship.

Otherwise, like most Americans I'm guessing you cannot prove legally you were born here, not without some paperwork requests and weeks of delays.

Many born and raised Merkins have no valid proof of citizenship. The short form birth cert most people have is NOT VALID PROOF you are an American. At least not to the State Dept and Customs Man.

On the surface, seems like a stupid f*#king law to me.

OK fine. I personally know two illegal residents with CA drivers' license.

You're wrong. From the State Department:

*A certified birth certificate has a registrar's raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal, registrar's signature, and the date the certificate was filed with the registrar's office, which must be within 1 year of your birth. Please note, some short (abstract) versions of birth certificates may not be acceptable for passport purposes.

Beginning April 1, 2011, all birth certificates must also include the full names of the applicant's parent(s). For more information, please see New Requirement for all U.S. Birth Certificates.

Certificate of live birth

The Obama team and the state of Hawaii released a certification of live birth, which documents the president’s birth on August 4, 1961, in Honolulu. This is not the original birth certificate. In Hawaii and other states, original birth certificates are not released when requested later.

CNN has seen a copy of the document and verified that it is official.

The certificate, officials say, allows a person born in Hawaii to get a driver's license, purchase land and obtain a U.S. passport.

I quoted the state department site on passport qualifications. Take it up with The Man.

Why require anyone to register to vote? Many countries (even democracies) do not.

It is just another way to make voting difficult in the USA.

Ummm, forgive me if this sounds condescending, I don't mean it to be but your question seems rather odd:
perhaps you're not aware of the fact that you're actually supposed to be a US citizen to vote in a US election?
Furthermore, not all citizens are allowed to vote. For example, in addition to age requirements, felons can't vote under some circumstances (those depend on state law).
How would an election work if there was no registration requirement? How would the people running the election know who was allowed to vote? I suppose the government could automatically register all qualified citizens--maybe that's a good idea and what other countries do.

Another way we make it hard to vote is holding elections on weekdays. What's up with that? Other countries hold them on a weekend or make voting day a holiday. This makes it easier to vote. But the USA has not tried to make voting easy.

double edit: You raise something I've long wondered about...why deny any felon who has done his time the right to vote? What is up with that? I find that an odd policy honestly and one that some would say is to disenfranchise a particular group (poorer folks) moreso than others. That's another interesting area I think.

Some would argue that making voting as easy as possible isn't necessarily a good in and of itself. If some people either can't get it together to figure out how to vote or just don't care enough to spend a little time, perhaps they're not sufficiently informed to have a meaningful opinion?

My old boss (a very successful, i.e., rich, lawyer) thought that elections should work like they do in the corporate world, where you get to vote once per share you own. Shares would be represented by tax dollars paid. While that won't happen, it does have at lease some logic--why should people who don't pay anything to support the government get to decide how the government spends other people's money?

(a) "Proof of identity" means a document or identification card that: (1) Shows the name of the person to whom the document was issued; (2) Shows a photograph of the person to whom the document was issued; (3) Contains an expiration date, and is not expired. (4) Is issued by the United States or the State of Arkansas.

At a recent Obama rally in Ohio, prospective attendees were told to brandish their photo IDs if they expected admittance to the rally. No word yet on whether Attorney General Eric Holder plans to file suit against the Obama campaign for infringing upon Ohioans’ right of peaceful assembly by way of a racist photo ID rule.

Jessica Kershaw, the Obama campaign’s Ohio Press Secretary, confirmed in a statement to BuzzFeed that the campaign checked every supporter’s identification at the door.

“We checked every ID at the door to make sure it matched with the name on the ticket that supporters filled out,” she said. “We did this for every person who came in.”
