DETROIT (WKZO) -- Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson will be in federal court in Detroit tomorrow to answer questions on her plans to have a citizenship checkoff box on voter ballot applications.  Her office filed a motion this week seeking to ban local clerks from testifying about why they would disregard the checkoff box and barring the plaintiffs in the case from questioning her authority to place the question of citizenship on the ballot.

A group suing to block the checkoff boxes argues they are unconstitutional.  People who are not U.S. citizens are not eligible to vote
