But 23 States now request or require at least part of the Social Security number for voter registration purposes. Again. that has been up to the States. Now. the election official. if he or she found that by accessing the Social Security base that there were noncitizens on the voter roll. then they could go into the INS base to find out if they. are naturalized. which is the equivalent of citizenship and is citizenship. If there is no evidence of naturalization. then the official would have to notify the individual in writing and permit them the opportunity to establish their eligibility to vote. There would be 30 days to provide proof of citizenship. So it is not a mandate. it is a process that will work. and the data are. there. and we should not be hiding it in the hills. we should be letting those data be used to assure the purity of elections in the United States of America.
