Kansas Republican devises new plan to circumvent Supreme Court’s recent Voting Rights ruling

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/08/03/kansas-republican-devises-new-plan-to-circumvent-supreme-courts-recent-voting-rights-ruling/

Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R) is considering a plan that could split voters in federal and state federals (elections?), depending on the kind of form they use to register, Right Wing Watch reported.

Kobach’s idea would bar voters who register using the federal form issued as part of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) — also known as the “Motor Voter” bill — from voting in state elections unless they comply with a law requiring state-issued photo identification at the polls. Voters looking to take part in both elections must provide proof of citizenship when registering.

The plan is already being opposed by voters’ rights groups like the League of Women Voters of Kansas, who said on Friday it would not work.

(end snip)

yet another plan to disenfranchise people. The hate just doesn't stop with these Gopers.

proteges. He is the intellectual author of all the 'papers please' laws that the Southern states jumped to enact in order to rid themselves of those pesky immigrants. Now he is bound and determined to disenfranchise as many minorities as he can. A regular one man band of hate and opression. Kansas can be proud.
