TN-Proof Of Citizenship Bill May Violate Federal Law
Proof Of Citizenship Bill May Violate Federal Law
Posted: May 20, 2010 9:43 AM CDT
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Tennessee's attorney general said legislation that requires proof of citizenship before registering to vote would violate a federal law meant to get more people to vote.
The opinion released Wednesday by Attorney General Bob Cooper said the proposal would break the so-called Motor Voter Act, a 17-year-old law that requires states to let people register to vote at state agencies and by mail.
The opinion comes after the Senate approved a bill earlier this month that would eliminate mail-in voter registration in Tennessee and give election administrators discretion to reject voters who cannot prove they are citizens. Proof would include a driver's license or birth certificate.
The House also passed a different bill earlier this month, and lawmakers must work out differences before the legislation is sent to the governor.
