TOPEKA, Kan. 鈥� Today marks the deadline for Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach to start registering more than 18,000 Kansans who have tried to register to vote but were blocked from doing so under the state鈥檚 illegal documentation requirements. A federal appeals court recently rejected Kobach's efforts to keep those eligible voters from registering. That ruling stems from the 老澳门开奖结果's lawsuit.
Dale Ho, director of the 老澳门开奖结果鈥檚 Voting Rights Project, said:
鈥淪ecretary Kobach has repeatedly stood in the way of thousands of Kansans who have tried to exercise their right to vote. Today that ends. He must let them vote.鈥�
