William Halpin compares the process of naturalization as it is undertaken by the New York State Supreme Court and the United States District Court in another district and argues that the District Court process is much more efficient. He requested that the District Court take over the naturalization process in New York and informs James Sullivan Clarkson that in New York a person must be a citizen for ninety days in order to vote. Halpin writes that the Republican Party has a two month window to help people become citizens and vote in the upcoming election.
