Washington State requires no ID for voter registration - utility bill will do.
2008-10-07
Ok. So my wife passes her Naturalization Interview and is scheduled to be sworn in on Friday (Oct 10) after which we will drive up to Everett Wa (County seat of Snohomish County where we reside) in order to register to vote. She can register up to 15 days before the election as long as she goes to the Elections office.

What follows is from the official Washington State website on Registering to vote (see link).

Apparently you only need a utility bill, bank statement (Bank of America loves illegals btw) or a paycheck to register to vote in Washington State.

Does anyone see any sort of 'Proof of Citizenship' on this page? The page says its a requirement - but no need of actual proof.

ID Necessary to Register

If you register by mail and do not have a Washington State driver's license, Washington State ID card, or a Social Security number, you will be required to provide one of the following items when you cast your ballot.

* Valid photo ID
* Valid tribal ID of a federally recognized Indian tribe in Washington State
* Copy of a current utility bill
* Current bank statement
* Copy of a current government check
* Copy of a current paycheck
* A government document, other than a voter registration card, that shows both your name and address

If you do not provide one of the above items either before or at the time of voting, your ballot will not be counted.
No wonder ACORN loves Washington State.....
