South Carolina considering citizenship verification for voters

New S.C. voters would have to show proof of their U.S. citizenship, under a bill that advanced at the State House Thursday.

A Senate subcommittee signed off on the measure requiring South Carolinians registering to vote to present a driver’s license, birth certificate, passport or tribal verification when registering to vote.

Currently, new voters do not have to show any proof of U.S. citizenship. They attest to their citizenship when filling out paperwork to become a voter.
