Anyone else a little curious about what happens when maybe 17,000 or so Kansans show up to vote in the Aug. 5 primary election and are told that they don’t really need to bother with most of the ballot?
Huh?
Yes, there are still about 17,000 Kansans who are in “suspense” and that means they haven’t proven to the satisfaction of the Kansas Legislature and governor they are sure-enough Americans.
So, after a last-ditch effort by the American Civil Liberties Union last week in Shawnee County Court, Kansas’ new voting law is still the law of the state. That means for voters who have moved within the state, or maybe moved to the state, and who haven’t proven they are official U.S. citizens by producing a birth certificate or passport or naturalization documents, they can just vote on federal offices.
