Because they were forced to by the courts.

You'd be surprised how many people don't have a photo ID. I work with a non-profit that deals with the impoverished on a regular basis and the number of people that have come in that lack that documentation is astounding.

In Virginia, when you fill out the voter registration it is then checked by the Department of Elections where they verify the match of your SSN, DOB, name, and address. If anything doesn't mesh, then they will either reject the application or they will contact you to correct the issue or provide further documentation. Since you won't have an SSN without being a citizen, that verification is how they get that proof.
It should be noted that even with voter ID laws, this is when you prove you are citizen. We have the voter ID law here, one of the strictest in the country, but your ID doesn't provide the proof.
