Don't Vote

This is a pretty cool youtube:

"Don't Vote 2 - The Sequel" (Watch on YouTube)

(I'd register to vote but I'm Canadian and that's frowned upon. I'm voting in my election on Oct. 15 14 :)

Awesome.

So what is it about your date state. your state that doesn't need registration? Why are you guys so awesome? Also, in a related Q, how is voter identity verified? Up here in BC, Canada, you don't need to be registered but you need government issued ID like a passport or driver's licence, and/or proof of address like a gas bill or if you don't drive or pay bills, you can get someone who does to legally vouch for you. It's all very bureaucratic.

I have no clue why North Dakota originally set it up that way. According to this link (http://www.nd.gov/sos/electvote/voting/vote-history.html), there was a Senate bill to start voter registration, but was considered too costly for the state.

Voter identity is probably verified the same way it is for you. Some sort of government issued ID and/or a piece of mail showing at least 30 days residence. In 2000 I voted on a ND college campus and had no problems at all. In 2004 I missed voting by one hour. I'm hoping/assuming that it'll be the same thing this time around.
