Aha! Of course! The ever-ubiquitous social security number is the missing link I was grasping for. Thank-you.(Although surely there would be privacy issues in combining databases, depending on ones' faith in the government.)
But it does assume that all states require a declared party affiliation, when registering to vote, and how effective this proposed discrimination would be without compulsory voting is also something that logically makes the entire idea sound very unlikely. At least to me.
(And thank-you for taking sympathy on the foreigner who has trouble with the idea of non-compulsory voting.) :)
