Just checked in my own State. I guess I don't have a right to vote unless I'm a resident and register before the election. Hard to see how you can prove who you are and your residency without some kind of State ID. A SS card doesn't prove residency. My guess is States requiring and making ID available to the poor is a good thing. It will reduce fraud in the welfare system and benifit them greatly.
