Bills require presidential candidates to release tax returns

HONOLULU (AP) — Lawmakers in Hawaii and several other states want to prevent presidential candidates from appearing on their states' ballots unless the candidates release their tax returns.

The District's three electoral votes have gone to the Democratic candidate in every election since city residents were granted the right to vote for president in 1961.

Nationwide, about two-thirds of registered voters said it's somewhat or very important for presidential candidates to release their tax returns, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll in September.
