"But more controversial is HB 2067’s requirement that everyone must present proof of citizenship when registering to vote. That’s a requirement only Georgia and Arizona have previously implemented.
Registration by noncitizens, both legal and illegal, is a problem all over the country. The Colorado secretary of state recently testified before a House congressional committee that a routine check had found thousands of registered voters in the state who may not be citizens.
Arizona passed such a registration requirement by referendum in 2004. Georgia passed a similar requirement but had to sue the Justice Department to get approval under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act."
