今年2月，法院否决3个州要求证明公民身份才能登记选民的法律。所以选民登记基本上不需要证明是公民。

当然，Obama的司法部作为被告方选择不应诉，反而支持控方的要求。

In an unusual move, the Obama Administration is backing the issuance of a court injunction blocking a federal official's decision to approve new voter registration forms that allow three states to insist that voters provide copies of documents proving their U.S. citizenship.

In legal papers filed Monday morning, the Justice Department urged U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon to grant a preliminary injunction sought by the League of Women Voters aimed at preventing Kansas, Alabama and Georgia from using so-called "motor voter" forms that require proof of citizenship.

The Justice Department's action is uncommon because the agency represents the defendants targeted in the lawsuit—the federal Election Assistance Commission and its acting executive director Brian Newby. Newby issued a directive on Jan. 29 allowing the three states in question to change the federal forms' instructions to reference to the proof of citizenship requirement.
