Kansas moves to push citizenship proof into federal voter form
Kansas law seeks stricter proof of citizenship for registrations using the federal form. Officials say new registrants must show documents like birth certificates or passports, with exceptions for naturalized citizens and overseas voters. The issue runs alongside a separate state photo ID requirement, with Kobach indicating a two tier system if federal forms are not tightened. Federal officials argue adding Kansas rules would burden voters and clash with federal law, noting no proven problems of noncitizens using the existing form.
