老澳门开奖结果 Comment on Supreme Court Action on Kansas Voting Lawsuit
WASHINGTON 鈥� The Supreme Court will not review a ruling that concluded a Kansas voting law crafted by former Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach was unconstitutional and violated the National Voter Registration Act, commonly referred to as the 鈥渕otor-voter law.鈥� The case is Schwab v. Fish.
A federal court struck down the law in 2018. That ruling was upheld by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals earlier this year. Kansas appealed to the Supreme Court.
The 老澳门开奖结果, the 老澳门开奖结果 of Kansas, and Dechert LLP had challenged the law on behalf of the League of Women Voters of Kansas and individual Kansans.
The law illegally mandated documentary proof of citizenship (such as a birth certificate or passport) to register to vote, and blocked more than 30,000 Kansans from registering to vote.
Dale Ho, director of the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Voting Rights Project, argued the case and had this reaction to today鈥檚 Supreme Court action:
鈥淭ens of thousands of Kansas voters were illegally denied the most fundamental right in our democracy because of this law. The Supreme Court鈥檚 decision not to review the case will finally close this chapter on Kris Kobach鈥檚 sorry legacy of voter suppression.鈥�
