Kansas Voter Law Sparks Legal Concerns | Lawrence News
Description
Kansas lawmakers pushed through a new voter registration law despite the governor’s veto, sparking alarm from the ACLU and League of Women Voters who warn it could accidentally disenfranchise eligible voters — especially naturalized citizens — by misusing federal and state databases. The law also restricts online voter registration sites, risking suppression of turnout, and even criminalizes unapproved registration websites with jail time and fines. Though Secretary of State Scott Schwab received the warning letter and declined to comment, legal action may be imminent as civil rights groups prepare to challenge the law’s compliance with federal voting rules.
