In Washington State, to register to vote you have to assert you are a citizen and a resident. But no verification is done on that.

The official website says they collect either a driver's license number, state ID number, or the last 4 digits of your Social Security number. With that it should be trivial to flag potentially fraudulent applications for further investigation.

Do you have a source that says they don't use that information for verification?
