Do you qualify to vote?

Do you qualify to vote? I don't -- not by many of these new rules. You see, my parents weren't married when I was born so I have my mom's maiden name on my birth certificate. I have never in my life used my mother's maiden name for anything. It nearly stopped me from getting a passport once, too. 

And yet, I cannot prove my last name when I was born.

I had to get my offical Report of Birth Abroad, from the State Department to prove I was really a U.S. citizen in the 2k elections. I was born at Zaragoza Air Force Base, Spain.

a passport isn't good enough proof?  I'll alert our border guards.

Luckily I don't live in a state where we have these (new) stupid rules.

So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books? Do documentaries put together by universities have to pay a fee first? If I move into the state and give away old college text books, do I have to pay a fee first? http://www.forbes.com/sites/evapereira/2012/10/19/minnesota-bans-free-online-education/
