The casual voter registration drive in Texas may be about to get a lot more formal. On Thursday, a state senate panel will take up a proposal that would change what you would need to have with you when you register to vote. Technically, the change won't add any new requirements, just how you prove you meet them. The Senate Committee on State Affairs will consider Senate Bill 16, which would require a person who wants to register to vote to submit proof of citizenship at the time they sign up.

And all of that after being a state lawmaker. The 18th District seat was first held by noted stateswoman Barbara Jordan.
