In fact. this bill is nothing more then a thinly veiled tool for suppressing the minority vote. At a time when voter turnout is at record lows. Republicans are proposing a bill that would make sure that fewer voters participate in future elections. H.R. 1428 effectively undermines the Voting Rights Act and the National Voter Registration Act. H.R. 1428 will empower local election officials to drop citizens from voter rolls if the Social Security Administration and the Immigration and Naturalization Service are unable to confirm a persons citizenship status. However. according to testimony from both the INS and SSA. H.R. 1428 is utterly unworkable because neither agency can conform the citizenship of a majority of Americans.
