Washington — The House passed a controversial bill on Thursday that would require Americans to show proof of citizenship in person to register to vote in federal elections, which critics say could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters. Four Democrats joined all Republicans to pass the measure in a 220-208 vote.

Democrats say the real goal make it harder for younger and low-income people to register to vote because they may not have easy access to birth certificates or a passport.
