Federal Judge Strikes Down Kansas Proof Of Citizenship Law

    A federal judge on Monday permanently blocked Kansas from requiring people to provide proof of citizenship when they register to vote.

    U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson, a George W. Bush appointee, found that the law violated the National Voter Registration Act and the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution.

    The decision is a defeat for Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R), who championed the law requiring proof of citizenship. The ruling is significant because Robinson rejected the evidence that noncitizen voter registration is a widespread problem in Kansas. Kobach, who has advised President Donald Trump on voter fraud issues, has been a loud advocate for the idea that voter fraud is a widespread problem, despite several studies and investigations that have shown the contrary.

Does this mean, say, Putin could send a small army to America on election day and they could vote? What is there to stop them?  Its just another nail in the American coffin.

I've since read today (somewhere else) that SoS Kobach has essentially told his department to proceed as it was doing before -- essentially he sounds like he intends to ignore the judge's decision.

Bravo to him, if this report is so and if he has the courage to stand up to a ruling as ridiculous as this one is.

We shall see.
