TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) A Kansas official who later became vice chairman of President Donald Trump's commission on election fraud drafted a proposal for Trump to change federal voter registration laws to promote proof-of-citizenship requirements by states, an unsealed federal court document showed Thursday.
The proposal was part of a "strategic plan" for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security prepared by Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach and carried by him into a meeting in November with Trump, then the president-elect. It was among three proposals designed to "stop aliens from voting."
U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson ordered a highly-edited version of the document unsealed Thursday in a voting-rights lawsuit from the American Civil Liberties Union. Robinson also ordered the unsealing of a second document, prepared by Kobach and circulated within the Kansas secretary of state's office, showing the text of proposed changes to federal law.
The changes would allow Kansas and other states to fully enforce laws requiring new voters to provide papers documenting their U.S. citizenship when registering. The ACLU's lawsuit, filed in February 2016, challenges how Kansas administers its law and so far is keeping Kansas from enforcing the requirement for voters who register at motor vehicle offices.

(19,201 posts)they're quarantined for up to a year, so they don't cause an epidemic of ignorance. During that quarantine period they're introduced to basic science principles (such as evolution, geology, and archeology) so they don't stick out like a turd in a punch-bowl in social situations. They're also exposed to books (for many, it's the first time) other than the bible.
The same 'Introduction to Reality' courses are carried out to those from Idaho, moving to other states.
We really do owe it to these people, after all they've been through.
