Rep. Paul Gosar, an Arizona Republican, told Mike Huckabee on Monday that the U.S. should consider a national referendum to make voter registration more difficult.
The two were discussing the Supreme Court ruling that invalidated an Arizona law mandating that people registering by mail to vote in the state using a federal voter registration form produce additional documentation to prove their citizenship. The federal form already requires voters to certify under oath that they are citizens. Civil Rights groups worried that the Arizona requirement would disenfranchise low-income voters and jeopardize voter registration drives.
