Kansas fight over voter eligibility in motor voter law case
A federal appeals court in Denver weighs whether Kansas may require proof of citizenship from voters registering at motor vehicle offices. The 10th Circuit heard from Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and the ACLU as it weighs upholding a May ruling blocking disenfranchisement of about 18 000 registrants who lacked documents. If allowed to stand, up to about 50 000 could have votes counted in November. The case tests motor voter limits and whether clerks inform applicants of extra document needs.
