Kansas Voter Registration Ruling Clouds State Ballot Picture
U S District Judge Julie Robinson ordered Kansas to accept about 18 000 voter registrations filed at driver license offices that lacked proof of citizenship. The ruling cites federal Motor Voter Act preemption, delaying implementation to May 31 and prompting an emergency appeal by Kris Kobach. The decision aims to prevent disenfranchisement of eligible voters in federal elections while highlighting Kansas two tier system for voting.
