Some poll workers in North Dakota who created confusion and frustration in the spring primary by demanding proof of United States citizenship particularly from immigrants and people of color had no power to do that, the state attorney general says.Attorney General Drew Wrigley said in a five-page opinion released late Wednesday that North Dakota law does not require a voter to provide documents of citizenship in order to cast a ballot. Every voter is asked if they are a citizen and if they answer yes, they should be allowed to vote provided they have proper ID, Wrigley said.Many of the complaints came from some polling sites in Fargo, which has the largest new American population in the state.NORTH DAKOTA’S REPUBLICAN LEGISLATIVE MAJORITY LEADERS PREDICT VOTERS TO STRIKE DOWN TERM LIMITNorth Dakota does not require voter registration. Residents need to provide a North Dakota driver’s license, a non-driver’s license ID, a tribal ID or a long-term care facility certificate that shows a person's legal name, age and address.
