Speech #1030032611

I do not think we ought to be mandating. I think the States ought to be able to do it if they desire. But if that is all this bill did. I would not have any real objection. But what I do object to is forcing registration in the welfare office but not in the revenue office. Our colleague talked about illegal aliens. Let me read you from the report of the bill on page 23: The Senate amendment. The Senate amendment provides that nothing in this act shall prevent a State from requiring presentation of documentation related to citizenship of an applicant for voter registration.
