Well, the reason for registering is probably pretty simple - in those states 
with larger populations, it allows the state boards of elections to make sure 
the people who vote are legit.  North Dakota with its relatvely small 
populatiokn probably wouldn't have such a big need, but I must admit I 
thought every US citizen was required to register to vote in a national 
election.
