The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has put state officials on notice that it intends to sue if they do not drop a "voter list maintenance program," which inquires about residents' citizenship status, the Tennessee Journal reports. The ACLU said that letters recently sent to 14,375 residents violated the National Voter Registration Act. Advocacy groups are demanding Secretary of State Tre Hargett and State Coordinator of Elections Mark Goins cease all actions that “perpetuate voter intimidation” and “violate the U.S. Constitution and federal law.” In June, a number of groups expressed concerns over the program.
