Secretary of State candidate calls end to two tiered voting
Democratic candidate Jean Schodorf urged ending the citizenship proof barrier for state and local elections at a Statehouse press event. She criticized Kris Kobach for the SAFE Act and proposed a plan to fix the registration system, train poll workers, fully implement REAL ID, and allow suspended registrations to vote if citizenship proof is not yet found. Kobach insisted the secretary of state cannot waive citizenship and argued against returning to prior practices.
