A 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Kansas ruled Secretary of State Kris Kobach’s voter identification law is unconstitutional.
The secretary wants people to provide documentation of citizenship. The court rejected that on the grounds that the state couldn’t prove they have a problem with noncitizens attempting to register to vote.
“In short, we conclude that the Secretary has failed to show that a substantial number of noncitizens successfully registered to vote,” they wrote.
A federal judge ruled in 2016 that Kansas does not have the constitutional power to mandate people to show proof of citizenship when registering to vote and later ruled in 2018 that Kobach was in contempt of court over failing to comply with orders in a case challenging the law.
In other words, Kobach has to prove illegal aliens are registering to vote before he can ask for proof of citizenship.
Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly (D), who defeated Kobach in 2018’s gubernatorial race, said at a news conference Wednesday that “eliminating any barriers to voting is a good thing.”
It’s a barrier to prove you’re a citizen???
This is Kansas, allegedly a red state.

What does that have to do with the issue of protecting the election process? Why must the Secretary have to prove fraud before he takes steps to protect the integrity of elections before a known fraud happens? I wonder how these judges would rule if this fraud swayed elections to favor Republicans. We know the answer to that.
because the judge is a liberal and he’s ok with illegal aliens voting and ruining our electoral rights as US citizens…..the law is only US citizens can vote….the question is….are you a US citizen…if yes – then you can vote (unless you are a criminal with your rights to vote removed)…how do we prove our citizenship? by ID….hell – I have to have a marriage license, a birth certificate, a bill before I can update my driver’s license – why wouldn’t they want to ensure that only us citizens are voting? because they want to throw the election – the ONLY way the democrats can win this election is by cheating…
If the judge feels their is no problem with illegal voters, then why not let them have voter picturer I.D. We need I.d. For so many other things why not voting. I think voting is more important than buying a pack of cigarettes
All of those poison pills that sobama put into place are reaping dividends for the CPUSA.
Who needs external enemies with armies when there are internal activist judges with a hate America axe to grind.
Zimbabwe? Yes we can!
