The Tennessee Secretary of State's office has confirmed that it sent out more than 14,000 letters to potential non-U.S. citizens asking them to prove citizenship status for the next election. According to New Channel 5, many of those who received the letter say they have voted in previous elections. The Secretary of State's office says voter rolls were compared with data from the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security to identify those who were not citizens when they had their first interaction with the department. The office says individuals could have been naturalized since then, but have not updated their records. Anyone who received a letter and has questions may contact the Secretary of State's Elections Division at 615-741-7956.
