An attempt to secure elections in Tennessee was stymied by outrage from Democrats and liberal ideologues.
Inconsistencies found between voter rolls and information from the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security prompted the state’s Coordinator of Elections to send out 14,000 letters in a bid to secure the state’s elections earlier this year.
The letter from Coordinator of Elections Mark Goins noted that the recipient’s voter information matched with individuals who may not have been United States citizens at the time of obtaining a Tennessee driver license or ID card, and gave an opportunity to confirm citizenship.
As drivers licenses are updated every 8 years, it is possible that some newly naturalized citizens failed to update their records with the state at the time they became citizens. The letter gave an option to update records by providing a photocopy of a birth certificate, passport, or other document showing proof of citizenship. A postage paid envelope was sent with the letter.
