Editorial: Citizenship proof bill would limit many voters
Tribune Opinion West Central Tribune
Published Friday, March 17, 2006
A Minnesota House committee approved a bill Wednesday that would require proof of citizenship for voter registration in Minnesota.

Under the proposed bill, all voters — new voters and longtime voters — who are registering to vote would be required to provide a birth certificate, a passport or naturalization papers.

The House and Senate should both reject this bill as it would create an adversarial atmosphere for all potential voters attempting to register.

The bill supporters claim the requirement to prove citizenship would provide confidence in the voting system and is simply common sense.
