At first AG Goddard said the proposition only applied to food stamps or something.

3. yes...

I've got a guide here.

It has to do with the numbers. Obviously, the most preferred numbers would be from an Arizona driver's license or non-operator's card, next would be a certificate of naturalization number, or an indian census, tribal treaty card, bureau of indian affairs card, or tribal enrollment number.

If none of those are had, what would be acceptable iare either a photocopy of your birth certificate with the name of the applicant (if the name has changed due to marriage, a copy of the marriage certificate would also be needed), or a photocopy of the first two pages of your US passport, displaying name and passport number, either expired or still active.

The biggest problem this poses to registering people to vote is that poor and minority people are disproportionately more likely to not have the preferred form (it also so happens that those people are also disproportionately more likely to register Democratic). On top of that, most people don't carry around their birth certificate or passport, and I've yet to see a voter registration table be equipped with a copying machine, let alone those volunteers who do door to door registration.
