>>Judge Rules Against La. Voting Law 
>>
>>By ROXANA HEGEMAN 
>>Associated Press Writer 
>>
>>NEW ORLEANS (AP) -- A federal judge has ruled that Louisiana 
>>can not require people to give their Social Security number 
>>when registering to vote, saying it violates privacy and voting 
>>laws. 
>>
>>In a ruling made public Monday, U.S. District Judge Marcel 
>>Livaudais Jr. said the requirement violates the Privacy Act 
>>of 1974 and the National Voter Registration Act of 1993. 
>>
>>Last year, Martin McKay, 39, refused to give his Social 
>>Security number and his mother's maiden name when he tried 
>>to register to vote. The state refused to register him. 
>>
>>McKay sued, saying his right to vote is protected by the 
>>constitution and is not conditioned on providing that 
>>information. 
>>
>>``I will not sit back and allow the millions that have died 
>>over the last 200 years to give me that right ... stand in 
>>vain,'' McKay said. 
>>
>>The state contended it needs Social Security numbers to find 
>>duplicate registrations, stop voter fraud and identify felons. 
>>
>>But the judge said requiring the numbers violated the Privacy 
>>Act because the state did not require the numbers before the 
>>privacy law was enacted. 
>>
>>However, Livaudais said the state could still ask for the 
>>mother's maiden name under the National Voter Registration Act. 
>>
>>The state also can still ask voters to volunteer their Social 
>>Security numbers when registering, Assistant Elections 
>>Commissioner Alan Elkins said. There are no plans now to 
>>remove the Social Security numbers from voter registration 
>>files. 
>>
