Senators Wicker, Britt introduce voting bill requiring citizenship proof

Mississippi U.S. Senator Roger Wicker has signed on to a Senate Bill that would encourage states to require proof of American citizenship when registering to vote via mail.

The ‘Citizen Ballot Protection Act’ was introduced by Senator Roger Wicker and Alabama Senator Katie Britt. Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith also signed on as a co-sponsor of the bill.

If passed, states could verify that those registering to vote by mail-in applications are indeed American citizens.

In a statement, Wicker says the bill is a commonsense measure that would help with election integrity across the country.
