According to Supreme Court, when you're going to vote.
The court rejected a requirement passed by Arizona voters in 2004 that potential voters supply proof of eligibility beyond an applicant’s oath on the federal form that he or she is a citizen.

We're just taking someone's word? Awesome.

The federal law “precludes Arizona from requiring a federal form applicant to submit information beyond that required by the form itself,” Justice Antonin Scalia wrote for the majority.

Wtf is up with this dude lately?

Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. wrote separate dissents, although both made the point that the majority ignored the Constitution’s demand that states set the requirements for voter registration.

Holy Christ, Clarence and me agree on something. The pilot light just went out in hell.

Do a "it is not a tax/ only legal because it is a tax" thing. Check id as part of a safety inspection, or something, then make sure they don't lie to the poll worker. Or something.
