"Kansas Supreme Court finds Kansans have no ‘fundamental right’ to vote."

The ruling did no such thing.

In modern American law, the highest category of rights cannot be abridged unless the law or measure doing so passes the exacting strict scrutiny standard. Most all rights fall into categories that are protected by several lower standards of scrutiny. That is why it is hard for the government to carry out the death penalty but much easier to take away a drivers' license or seize a car, a bank account, or even a home.

In holding that the right to vote is subject to a lower standard of scrutiny than strict scrutiny, the court is no doubt correct. Significantly, the decision will permit rational measures based on administrative efficiency and protection against fraud as legally sound even if they can make it marginally harder to vote.

And by the way, damn the League of Women Voters for once again lining up with the Democrats in wanting to make vote fraud easier.

I think they mean that a “right” that can be restricted in various ways is not a “fundamental” right, that is an unrestricted, foundation right.
