Yes, and this stops the US from giving everybody a vote in elections?
News Flash — you have to
register to vote.
You know what registering is? It's kinda like being CheckUsered.
Try registering under the name
Hanging Chad — oh wait, maybe in Florida …

People tend to disappear when asked to identify themselves.
Sometime between April 1986 and April 1987 in the US, 7 million kids simply
disappeared, never to be heard of, again. That was the first year that children's social security numbers were required, in order to be able to claim the children as deductions on income taxes. Gosh, we found out the next year that we had 7 million fewer children in the US than the year formerly. The rest of them, we might as well call "socks."
