In Pennsylvania, you can register when you get your driver's license. I 
did when I moved to PA, and I think it's a good idea; you've presented 
your birth certificate and other ID, so they know who you are. Every 
time I renew my license (every 4 years), all the info is verified, and I 
have the chance to change my party affiliation. They (or PA, anyway) 
seems to have their act together with drivers licenses, so I like that 
my voter registration is tied to it. Requiring verified photo IDs of 
everyone is a slippery slope, but that's where this country is heading.
