Indiana Chamber pushes for citizen voting rule in Sept 6 vote
The Indiana State Chamber of Commerce urges voters to support Amendment No. 1 requiring foreign-born residents to become U S citizens before voting. The push warns that low turnout and biased opposition threaten passage, with a high turnout needed to set a majority standard for all amendments. The effort stresses Americanism and citizenship as essential before ballot access. See sample ballot on page 7.
