All this ruling is saying is that in matters of election it is the federal government that makes the rules and states don't get to change how people register to vote.

If they want to force people to show ID when they register they need to get either the senators or congressmen from Arizona to sponsor a bill in the house or senate that would call for this ID rule to be put in place nationwide.

Personally, I'm not all that against forcing people prove citizenship when they register even though it will cost more money to do so. However, I'm not too worried about it because large scale voter fraud does not appear to be a problem. There was a story a while back that showed how during the Bush administration they did a heavy crackdown on illegal voting and after a 5-year effort they only arrested about 120 people.
