A voting rights group is suing Secretary of State Ruth Johnson for ordering local clerks to put a citizenship check-off box on voter application forms. Those are the slips of paper voters receive when they go to the polls and sign in on Election Day. Macomb County Clerk Carmella Sabaugh says voters already have to prove their citizenship when they register, so the check box is unnecessary. She spoke with WDET's Pat Batcheller.

The deadline to register to vote is October 9th.
