Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) introduced legislation on Thursday that would require voter identification in Washington, D.C., preventing illegal immigrants and legal noncitizens from voting in local elections. The bill, titled the American Confidence in Elections: District of Columbia Voter Identification Act, aims to amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002, which mandated updated voting standards for state and local governments over 20 years ago. The newly introduced bill, if passed, would 'establish certain photo identification requirements for voting in District of Columbia elections and to require proof of citizenship to register to vote in District of Columbia elections, and for other purposes,' according to a copy of the legislation.
