BATON ROUGE – A House bill that would require the Louisiana Secretary of State to submit details on every registered voter to a national database for investigation into their eligibility passed 73-29 Tuesday following extensive debate.
House Bill 691, by Rep. Beau Beaullieu (R-New Iberia) would require the secretary of state to submit personal information of every registered voter in the federal database annually.
