Local election authorities say a verification tool used in Missouri flagged citizens for removal from voter rolls

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ) - Secretary of State Denny Hoskins is asking local election authorities to verify voters' citizenship status after a federal program flagged people for potential illegal status. However, many county clerks have spotted citizens on the list.

Boone County Clerk Brianna Lennon said Hoskins sent her a list of 74 voters in November whose immigration status needed to be confirmed.

"We could see just from looking at the numbers and looking at the actual voters that were on it, that many of them were naturalized citizens," Lennon said. "One [voter] we actually registered at their naturalization ceremony."

The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements is a federal program that allows the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to verify a person's status. Hoskins uploaded Missouri voter rolls to the program within the past year.
