"Kansas was the tip of the spear of an effort to make it harder for people to register under the guise of protecting elections from a nonexistent epidemic of noncitizen voting. Those efforts haven't stopped as this case illustrates, and I think this case will be closely watched," said Dale Ho, director of the American Civil Liberties Union's Voting Rights Project.
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt said in an emailed statement that the statute was enacted by large bipartisan majorities in the Legislature. Critics countered that the documentary proof-of-citizenship law was"a disastrous experiment" that damaged the state's voter rolls, disenfranchised tens of thousands and eroded confidence in the state's elections.
No.
Shouldn’t matter, after all illegals don’t vote in elections 😂😂😂😂
Republican Voter Suppression at its finest. They are so evil !
Why isn’t every state enforcing this
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
As long as it is possible for citizens to get the correct paperwork in time for the election. GOP IS REALLY DOING THIS STUFF FOR THEIR OWN AGENDA.
Because anyone would choose to live in Kansas who isn’t a citizen.
Not this HOGWASH again. Like illegals want to go to Kansas? What would they do when they get there? Sit around the farmhouse watching the wheat grow.
Yes, because people in the country illegally just cannot wait to line up at a voting location and pretend to be someone else just so they can vote and risk getting caught and being arrested and deported. Have they ever met someone here illegally? Voting isn't tops on their list.
Republicans are running scared and inventing crises to screw the next election.
The entire country should .
you have to show ID to register to vote.
It's simple. Get politicians out of voting.
Wonderful.
Hasn't been needed for 2 centuries. Only reason it is 'needed' now is to make it easier for Republicans to block legitimate voters who would vote against them.
The ignorance of Kansas has always been a fact
