Naturalization Push Ahead of November Election

Hundreds of volunteers are helping qualified immigrants become U.S. citizens in time to register to vote in the November presidential elections.
   The "Become a Citizen Now!" program seeks to help 5,000 immigrants file applications for naturalization in Massachusetts, New York, California, Florida, Maryland, Oregon, Colorado, Washington, Tennessee, Illinois, Wisconsin and New Hampshire. The National Partnership for New Americans' initiative started in March and has already helped 500 applicants.

I can't imagine many if any will have completed the process in time to vote in November.

Why would they have to jump through htose hoops anyway? All they have to do is get a list of registered voters in a precinct and walk in and claim that name. I.D. is not required in elections, only everything else in America one woulf want to do.
