We show that for the voter model on {0, 1} ℤ corresponding to a random walk with kernel p (·) and starting from unanimity to the right and opposing unanimity to the left, a tight interface between zeros and ones exists if p (·) has finite second moment but does not if p (·) fails to have finite moment of order α for some α < 2.
