ORIGINAL: BitYakin <boring ranting deleted> Did you actually look at the form in question. They want the last 4 of your SS#. Want to bet they can index a last 4 to your legal name and determine if your really are a citizen? Do you really think an entire state simply lets anyone vote with no precautions? as a matter of a fact YES I DID, Box 8 – Last Four Digits of Social Security Number Required for registration unless you do not have a Social Security Number. (§115.155, RSMO, §115.158, RSMo.) If you do not have a Social Security Number, leave blank. And if you actually follow the references in the instructions to section 115 par 155 of the Revised Missouri statute you will find this: quote:
3. Upon receipt by mail of a completed and signed voter registration application, a voter registration application forwarded by the division of motor vehicle and drivers licensing of the department of revenue pursuant to section 115.160, or a voter registration agency pursuant to section 115.162, the election authority shall, if satisfied that the applicant is entitled to register, transfer all data necessary for the registration records from the application to its registration system. Within seven business days after receiving the application, the election authority shall send the applicant a verification notice. If such notice is returned as undeliverable by the postal service within the time established by the election authority, the election authority shall not place the applicant's name on the voter registration file. 4. If, upon receipt by mail of a voter registration application or a voter registration application forwarded pursuant to section 115.160 or 115.162, the election authority determines that the applicant is not entitled to register, such authority shall, within seven business days after receiving the application, so notify the applicant by mail and state the reason such authority has determined the applicant is not qualified. The applicant may have such determination reviewed pursuant to the provisions of section 115.223. If an applicant for voter registration fails to answer the question on the application concerning United States citizenship, the election authority shall notify the applicant of the failure and provide the applicant with an opportunity to complete the form in a timely manner to allow for the completion of the registration form before the next election. http://www.moga.mo.gov/statutes/C100-199/1150000155.HTM So just like I said at the beginning of this, the state is supposed to verify whether a person attempting to register to vote is a citizen. If you really think the only possible way to do that is requiring a citizen to present a picture ID every time they vote you are sorely mistaken. andddd where in all that did it say using a utility bill is reason for denial of the application? I never said that was the ONLY way to do it, all I said was, in missouri the requirments are almost non existant, which the websites CLEARLY show! now I'll be honest here, if I were a reviewer, and I saw an app for someone my age or younger, with no SS info, I'd probably find that suspicious and request more info.... but the FACT is at the law stands at the moment, the minimum requirment IS nothing more than a utility bill to both register and vote! as for the SS info, I don't know what is said on NEW SS cards, but on my original SS card it stated clearly that NO ONE can REQUIRE you to use your SS number for identification! soo unless you can show me where they CHANGED that law, I don't have to give me SS number for ANY reason other than employment for colection purposes!
