Court rules Kansas can't demand citizenship proof of new voters
The Washington Times ^ | April 29, 2020 | Stephen Dinan

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.

How about your state?

That ship sailed years ago here in Colorado. Same day registration, no ID needed, and hell, you don't even have to live in the precinct. Add in automatic mail-in voting and we will never have republicans elected again. Some rinos will slip through every now and then, like gardner. But this state is lost.

Driving on public roads is a privilege granted by the State to its residents
Voting is a prvilege granted by the US Constitution to the citizen.

Conclusion:
These privileges are granted under separate authorities;
Separate them and kill motor voter.

I cannot get my new driver’s license without my birth certificate. I had a certified copy that was not accepted because the lady said it was too old. TO DRIVE. We all know the absolute bullshit happening here and why. Question is, why the hell are we allowing these traitor f’cks to get away with destroying our Republic?

I'm confused.

How do I provide USA citizenship other than my birth certificate??? Never has anyone asked for that.

When I vote here in OK...they want my D.L. and that's it.

Many illegals have D.L.'s....

It’s hard to find now, but I distinctly remember a story from 2008 about some European election observers coming over to watch that election. It was pretty obvious they were worried about evil Republicans stealing the election from Obama.

Well, they got over here, realized that ID wasn’t required to vote in many places, and basically freaked out and ran home screaming.

The fed’s, including Trump have kicked the “real ID” law can down the road so often it is an embarrassment. Why do we need “real ID” to enter a federal building or board an airplane, but non-real ID to register to vote? The answer is pretty obviously political.

These fake judges disgust me. But okay, don’t require proof. Just investigate, prosecute, and then deport when they get out from their long prison sentence for any fraudulent voters who are not citizens.

>> “don’t want to inconvenience voter registrants”

I’d like to apply this “burden outweighs the risk” idea to paying taxes.

Paying taxes is an inconvenience to me. And a burden.

Loathesome anti-American judges.

So it’s “Unconstitutional” to assure that voter registrations are in compliance with the Constitution?

Liberals live in Bizarro World.

Voting Requirements for Presidential Elections
Citizenship. Only U.S. citizens—those born in the United States or naturalized immigrants—have...
Age. The 26th Amendment to the Constitution, ratified in 1971,...
Residency and Registration. Citizens must register to vote in the state in which they reside,...

It’s not KS it is these stool specimen judges. Too bad all three “panelists” didn’t croak so a new panel could be appointed.

Non-citizens voting disenfranchise citizens’ votes, and thus render being a citizen meaningless.
