Super Tuesday 2016
These 5 Super Tuesday states have new rules about who can vote
March 1 is Super Tuesday, the biggest day of the presidential primary season. It will also be the first implementation of new voting laws in five Southern states: Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
The new rules, with demands like proof of citizenship or photo ID, are hotly debated, often along partisan lines. Proponents of strict requirements argue that such measures are necessary to prevent voter fraud, while opponents believe they do more to suppress legitimate votes — especially those of minority, young, and low-income voters, who are least likely to be able to comply with ID rules — than solve a real fraud problem.
