U.S. District Court Enjoins Kansas Law Making it Illegal for Out-of-State Groups to Send Out Applications to Voters for an Absentee Ballot

On November 19, U.S. District Court Judge Kathryn Vratil, a Bush Sr. appointee, enjoined a new Kansas law that makes it illegal for groups outside to Kansas to send absentee ballot applications to Kansas voters. Kansas allows anyone to vote early, but the voter must apply for a postal ballot. The plaintiffs include two groups that try to encourage voter turnout. VoteAmerica v Schwab, 2:21cv-2253.

The constitutionality of the new law is not yet settled, but the order means that while the case is underway, the law will not be in effect. Here is the 46-page order.

  1. Each State is a Nation-State — esp for INTERNAL politics/election stuff.

    1776 DOI last para
    1777 Art Confed
    1783 USA-Brit peace treaty
    1787 USA Const – Art VII, Art IV, secs 1-2

    OUTSIDE folks – NOYB.

  2. This Judge is right. No non-government entity or persons is suppose to send out absentee ballots. Its up to the voter to request one and explain why? Stop coddling the voter and making it too easy. Lazy voters vote Democratic Party so they can get free welfare and handouts to sit on the couch and be parasites. Same with the mail ballots.
