Judge blocks states dual voter system in Kansas
A Shawnee County judge permanently blocks Kansas from maintaining a dual voter registration system just before and after the election. The ruling bars Kobach from enforcing two separate registration forms and grants 17,500 DMV registered voters access to state and local ballots, while praising the ACLU suit and calling Kobach’s stance unfounded. The order also holds that Kobach lacks authority to create new voting rules and notes the public interest in ensuring all eligible Kansans can vote.
