Voters Turned Away As Citizenship Box Creates Confusion At The Pollshttp://detroit.cbslocal.com/2012/08/07/voters-turned-away-as-citizenship-box-creates-confusion-at-the-polls/snip:
LANSING (WWJ) – Some voters were reportedly turned away from the polls on Michigan’s primary election day for refusing to fill out the new “citizenship†box on their ballot application.

Civil liberties groups have said the question is an attempt to discourage people from voting and that asking people to re-affirm their citizenship is redundant.
Secretary of State Ruth Johnson has said the question serves to clear up any confusion among some of non-U.S. Citizens who were under the impression that they could vote because they were asked to register at a Secretary of State.
This happened in Detroit...not in a hard core Republican area, yet we are the ones always accused of trying to disenfranchise some poor ignorant dummies right to vote. Which BTW isn't a right.
