Washington State: group asks for re-registration of all voters
AP reports: Voters would have to prove they are U.S. citizens and reregister to vote under an initiative that supporters said they will file this week.
Conservative think-tank Evergreen Freedom Foundation has formed Grassroots Washington, which is backing the initiative that was expected to be announced Wednesday afternoon.
The group takes issue with the state's new $6 million voter registration database, which has been checking for duplicate and dead voters since last month.
"The database is capable of maintaining a clean voter list. It cannot create a clean voter list," Booker Stallworth, the foundation's spokesman, said Tuesday.
Stallworth said he was concerned with the number of duplicate voters that the system has found, as well as the number he says he believes the system hasn't caught, due to misspelled names or inaccurate birth dates. -- Group to file initiative that would require all voters to reregister
