Thousands of Ga. Voters Told to Prove Citizenship
ATLANTA -- The Georgia secretary of state's office mailed out letters to more than 4,200 voters, telling them they must prove their citizenship for their ballots to count.

The secretary of state's office says 671 letters were delivered in Gwinnett County. County officials say they've cleared more than a third of them. More than 400 were sent to DeKalb County, where election officials say people have been coming in to comply.
