It requires proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. The reason this bears mention is because states do have power. I don't know why any state would want to do this. States do have it within their discretion to allow noncitizens to vote. There are a small handful of local jurisdictions that have done that. I cannot for the life of me fathom why that would be a good idea any more than any corporation would see fit to have. (30:52–30:59)
