Judge Rules In One State That Voters Do NOT Have To Prove They Are U.S. Citizens To Vote
A federal judge ruled Monday that Kansas cannot require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote, finding such laws violate the constitutional right to vote in a ruling with national implications. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson is the latest setback for Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, who has championed such laws and led President Donald Trump’s now-defunct voter fraud commission. The 118-page decision came in two consolidated cases challenging a Kansas voter registration law requiring people to provide documents such as a birth certificate, U.S. passport or naturalization papers.
The decision strikes down the Kansas proof-of-citizenship registration law and makes permanent an earlier injunction that had temporarily blocked it.
In an extraordinary rebuke, the judge also ordered Kobach on Monday to complete an additional six hours of legal education on top of other requirements before he can renew his law license for the upcoming year. She imposed the sanction for his numerous disclosure violations.
Kobach said his office would appeal the judge’s “extreme conclusion,” which he said was unlikely to survive scrutiny by a higher court.
“Her conclusion is incorrect, and it is inconsistent with precedents of the U.S. Supreme Court,” Kobach said in a statement.

Demmies and liberals will destroy this country. Any judge that allows illegals or any non citizen to be allowed to vote should be shot at sunrise and thrown in a trash pile.
Why shouldn’t ILLEGALS have the right to vote? After all, they’re citizens and have risked a lot and striven hard to get into the US.
Furthermore, they work hard at jobs US citizens won’t do, especially now with COVID. This is true due to other diseases coming into the US also.
In addition, they need both the under-the-table work and government benefits to support their families here and abroad. Thus who dictates the economy, citizens, and government is of paramount importance to them.
(Satire folks)
Bull##it to screw up the election by OBLOZO leftover…SAD!!
Solly Charlie, but federal law clearly says you DO have to prove you are a citizen before you can vote. Its called 18 U.S. Code § 611. Voting by aliens
(a) It shall be unlawful for any alien to vote in any election held solely or in part for the purpose of electing a candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives, Delegate from the District of Columbia, or Resident Commissioner
So ANYONE who follows this judges order is committing a federal felony and the judge can be impeached and removed and disbarred.
