Oregon set to meet voting-law deadline on statewide database to be running by beginning of 2006
The 2002 Help America Vote Act affects the conduct of elections normally handled by state and local governments.
STATEWIDE DATABASES for voter registration.
MINIMUM STANDARDS for voter identification, tying in with databases for driver's licenses and Social Security numbers. Beginning Jan. 1, new Oregon voter-registration cards will require driver's-license numbers and the final four digits of Social Security numbers; other identification may be accepted.
The federal law emerged from problems with the presidential election in Florida in 2000.
"The requirement came from concerns about irregularities in voter checklists," said Deb Markowitz, Vermont's secretary of state and the president-elect of the association.
"It was an inability to identify or purge duplicates, or to prevent somebody from registering and voting in more than one place."
I hope that this will help stop illegals from being able to vote however I am concerned about the privacy of our vote.
will they now [more then they can already] more easily be able to link the voter to who and what they voted for.

In Oregon, I have no doubt that Matriculata Consular cards will be accepted.
