Judge Rules Kobach Must Register 18,000 Suspended Kansas Voters
How much money will red states waste on this specious and just plain wrong bullshit before their constituents deselect them?
A federal judge on Tuesday ordered Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach to register about 18,000 rejected voters who filed applications at Department of Motor Vehicles offices but didn’t provide the proof of citizenship Kansas law requires.
Kobach said he’ll file an emergency appeal to the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver.
Judge Julie Robinson ruled the Kansas proof-of-citizenship law conflicts with the federal motor-voter act, which was passed by Congress to make it easier to vote by requiring motor-vehicle offices to also offer voting registration.
Robinson approved a preliminary injunction requiring Kobach to register prospective voters who were rejected since 2013 because they didn’t file documents proving their citizenship. They could vote in federal elections – U.S. House, Senate and the presidency – in this election cycle.
