Tenth Circuit Gives Kansas and Arizona Another Month to File Brief in Voter Registration Case

On May 29th, the Tenth Circuit set a June 30 deadline for the states of Kansas and Arizona to file their brief in Kobach v U.S. Election Assistance Commission, 14-3062. This is the case over whether those two states can force the federal government to alter the federal voter registration form that is used in those two states. The federal form asks for a signature of the voter-applicant under penalty of perjury, saying the applicant is a U.S. citizen. The two states want documentary proof. The case is being expedited so a decision is likely in the next few months. The U.S. District Court had ruled in favor of the two states.
