TOPEKA, Kan. - For years, Kris Kobach has fought against illegal immigration. He helped write two of the nation's most strict immigration laws in Arizona and Alabama and helped develop a now-defunct national immigration security system.
Now Kobach, the Republican secretary of state for Kansas, is embroiled in court fights over his repeated attempts to require Kansans to provide proof of citizenship to register to vote. Although he has repeatedly lost in court, one case that remains open will determine whether thousands of Kansans will be able to vote in November's local and state elections.

“If you’re willing to go out and vote, you should be allowed to, even if you’re in this country not as a citizen,” Panek said. “If you’re gonna go out and make that effort, you should be allowed to.”

What an idiot.
Citizens only.
You seen the job market for journalism majors these days?
“But why study gender and sexuality studies?”
Easy A. Used to be called “fluff classes”.
“Can anyone tell me what job you can get with gender and sexuality studies?”
You can become a teacher in the subject... or a “diversity advisor”... or a journalist... or a government employee... or a professional agitator.
She’ll write scintillating articles about Carlos Danger and Bill Clinton.
In this November's *local and state elections*? Is that to say there will be two separate polling days in Kansas this November? One for the US House,the US Senate (if either of their Senators are up this year) and President and another for Governor,state legislature,etc?
Sounds like the author is either of very limited IQ or he/she/it is engaging in deliberate deception.
if they’re illegal they ARE’NT Kansans!
High ranking Democrat party official and/or candidate
Hey, if you’re a good writer, good communicator, you could land a job at a local TV station, paper, social media site, etc.
But the gender studies crap I don’t understand.
U. S. Senator, Congressman, President...
NBC did not fail me. Instead of illegal aliens hiding in Kansas or even illegal residents, which they are, they used the word residents to try to hide them so the public will look down on trying to stop them from voting. NBC should be ashamed of these type of lies. I believe it was NBC or CBS that doctored the George Zimmerman tapes hiding his injuries when he arrived at the police station.
This type of crap happens all the time and they need to be called on it for just sheer dishonesty. Something I hope Trump will do and put in action for other conservatives.

If we are going to allow foreigners vote why not allow Italians in Italy, Germans in Germany, Russias,...anyone on earth. They seem to be saying our borders are meaningless why can’t anyone on earth vote the U.S. elections?
Agitator. Drug addict. Writer for a local free mag. Middle-aged harpy. Assisted Suicide Hotline Phone Monitor. That person no one wants to be around, ever. Soiled diaper on the parking lot of life...
They want to be able to vote in BOTH states.
That’s what hundreds of New York liberals who own a summer home in Florida did during the Bush/Gore election.
Yes, and they'll fill those out, too. They're trying to vote twice (or more), in two different jurisdictions.
It is insanity for this to even be in question.
In fact, note that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified in Minor v. Happersett that the right to vote is not an automatic right of citizenship.
So other than activist judges who wrongly stop the states from requiring that people prove citizenship before being allowed to vote imo, theres nothing in the Constituton stopping the states from prohibiting people who cannot prove citizenship from voting.
No argument there.
