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.

Where di they get that 31,089 number?
That makes sense.
When courts blocked the census question, Trump found a way around it. And probably a lot more efficient.
What’s the matter with Kansas?
Plenty, obviously.
Looks like this CW is now more clearly defined
So does CW mean civil war or if not what does it mean?
and if it does mean civil war, please amplify
thanks
I generally don’t do posts on demand.
I’ve found most such requests on me here are thinly disguised attack openings, especially when the info is readily available in my very recent posting history. Perhaps yours wasn’t.
In my posting history, I’ve been stating that it’s now Rat governors vs. Red governers, with Newsome the Western CSA General, and Cuomo the Eastern one.
Rats KNOW they are at war against all America stands for.
(All well stated by me yesterday, and the past few days)
Didn’t mean to trigger you.
Not interested in looking at your posts.
If you want to type in code without explaining what you mean, I’ll just write you off as being irrelevant.
30,000 would-be voters who were prevented from registering because of the citizenship requirement
*******************+++
But that’s the LAW!
Enforcing it could prevent vote/voter fraud.
I stopped giving AF

There you go again...hat tip to RR
Who knows what AF means?
And who care?
I won’t politely ask you what it means, as the last time I politely asked you what you meant by some obscure “XX” you went all snowflake on me and were triggered.
Sorry, all of us here aren’t up on every ‘code’ words or initials.
I hope you are having a good day!
Ye olde feigned ignorance is sooo 2016.
Bullies are a dime a dozen at FR these days.
Again.
YAWN.
