Kansas Court Says Secretary of State Has No Authority to Treat Voters who used the Federal Voter Registration Form Differently

On January 15, a Kansas state trial court issued an opinion in Belenky v Kobach, Shawnee Co. 2013-cv-1331. The Secretary of State had promulgated a regulation saying that voters who registered to vote in Kansas using the federal voter registration form can only vote for federal office. He set up a dual registration list, one for voters who used the state form, and one for voters who used the federal form.

After the lawsuit was underway, the Secretary of State put the plaintiff-voters in this lawsuit on the roster to vote in all elections, not just federal elections. That was his attempt to derail this particular lawsuit. But that didn’t work, and the state court ruled that the Secretary’s dual registration roster does not comply with Kansas statutes. Here is a link to an ACLU press release that has a link to the opinion.

The reason the Secretary of State set up a dual registration system is that he doesn’t like the federal form, because the federal form does not require applicants to attach proof of citizenship. Applicants sign under penalty of perjury that they are citizens. The state form does require documents to be attached. See this news story about the decision.

  1. How many LAWLESS Donkeys are there who LOVE having ILLEGAL Electors who vote for Donkey statists, of course ???

    One more step on the road to Civil W-A-R II ??? Duh.

  2. For each LEGAL Elector there is an ALLEGIANCE chain –

    at birth via father (NBC)
    after birth (naturalization).

    For some folks the chain goes back to 4 July 1776-1783 USA-Brit Peace Treaty folks in the 13 new States.

  3. Thus – how many folks in the U.S.A. have ANY NBC or naturalization legal evidence that they are U.S.A. citizens ???

    Place of birth means ZERO.

    Thus – at most the moron form can only say –
    I think I am a U.S.A. citizen.
