As citizen voting bill stalls in US Senate, some states forge ahead

Strict citizen voting requirements sought by President Donald Trump have stalled in the U.S. Senate. But Republicans in some states are pressing ahead with similar measures. Bills requiring people to show proof of citizenship to register to vote won final approval this week in South Dakota and Utah. A similar measure has passed the Florida House. And supporters in Michigan turned in 750,000 petition signatures this week to try to get a proof-of-citizenship measure on the November ballot. Federal law already requires people registering to vote to affirm they are U.S. citizens. But Trump contends more proof should be required.
