A coalition of top state election officials led by Mississippi Secretary of State Michael Watson urged congressional Republicans to require federal election officials to mandate stronger citizenship protections for voter registration, according to a letter obtained by The Daily Wire.
Watson and ten other GOP secretaries of state urged Republican leadership in the Senate and House to pass legislation requiring the U.S. Election Assistance Commission (EAC) to change the current federal voter registration form to demand proof of citizenship rather than relying on an applicant’s word. The Republican officials said that the federal form made it more difficult to ensure that only American citizens were voting in elections.
