The second part of this amendment. however. is very carefully designed to gut the legislation under the guise of hitting one of the political hot buttons we have today. It says that this bill will not go into effect in any State until the chief election official of that State certifies to the U.S. Attorney General that sufficient procedures exist in the State to prevent voter registration by persons who are not citizens in the United States. Again. harking back to the idea somehow that we are trying to register noncitizens. which is absurd on its face. The bill clearly makes the case in three specific points in the legislation that that is not the case. One must be a critizen to register.
