Kansas cannot demand that new voters who register under the federal Motor-Voter law prove citizenship before their applications will be accepted, a U.S. appeals court ruled Wednesday.
The two judges of the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said Kansas at best proved only a few noncitizens registered to vote each year, and said that wasn’t as bad as more than 30,000 would-be voters who were prevented from registering because of the citizenship requirement.
“The significant burden quantified by the 31,089 voters who had their registration applications canceled or suspended requires us to increase the ‘rigorousness of our inquiry,’ … and that such an inquiry demonstrates that the precise interests put forward by the Secretary do not justify the burden imposed on the right to vote,” Judge Jerome Holmes, a George W. Bush appointee, wrote in the opinion. “Thus, we conclude the [proof of citizenship] requirement is unconstitutional.”
He was joined by Judge Mary Beck Briscoe, a Clinton appointee. A third panelist died last month and wasn’t part of the final decision. Under the 10th Circuit’s rules, since the other two judges were already in agreement, they were able to issue their opinion in a 2-0 ruling.
The ruling comes after nearly a decade of litigation over the requirement.

Well, I’m ‘glad’ to see that Kansas is getting just as insane as many other states (including mine).
Can the state verify citizenship some other way after the application is received?
If not, the decision needs to be appealed.
how abotu banks? Can non citizens go in and withdraw money without id?
How about flying?
How about ...
Looks like this CW is now more clearly defined to Red Govs vs. Rat Govs, so far 26-24, tied 25-25 with Mitt.
Are there any exceptions to the CSA govs?

Makes sense. If a the government can ban religious gatherings, with support from many Freepers, what is the issue with a government allowing no ID voting? If you sacrifice your liberty, spare me the “it’s temporary” nonsense, or the “you don’t understand old vulnerable Freepers” shitte, for a bowl of Corona protection pottage, why should the gov worry about your vote?
If courts don’t think votes cast illegally sway elections, just look to Minniesoda. Kansas, you got nuked... and thugs in a black robe twisted the blade in your back for good measure.
“There’s always gonna be a little corruption.”
Yes Judges, with weinoids like you around, sadly, that is true.

ZERO is the standard, you fkng morons. "We The People" does not include non-citizens.
There is precedent, right?
I have to show an ID for beer, cigarettes, for virtually everything but even now, in 2020, we still do not have to show an ID to vote................LIKE WTF already?!
Bush Judges are some of the most rabid Never Trumpers.
That is just plumb CRAZY! Thanks for putting MY CITIZENSHIP IN DANGER! You globalist moron dictators.
I live and vote in Kansas and if just one illegal person in Kansas votes, that deprives me of my vote and having confidence in my right as a citizen!
In my rural precinct, the little old ladies who have run the polling place for years know most of the voters personally and certainly would spot anyone with an invalid ID, or who cannot give their address, or can’t sign their name as the same way it was done in previous elections.
However, if the Democrats have their way with vote by mail and ballot harvesting, every precinct in Kansas will be overwhelmed by vote fraud with dead voters, non-citizen voters, and imaginary friend voters. We will be a solid blue state within two election cycles. How about your state?
Must ... let ... Democrats ... cheat....
