Kansas' proof of citizenship law led to voter disenfranchisement, becoming a cautionary tale for future legislation

Credited from: APNEWS

  • In Kansas, a **proof-of-citizenship law** was enacted in 2011 but blocked over **31,000 eligible voters** from registering.
  • This requirement, later deemed **unconstitutional**, has not been enforced since 2018.
  • The law's failure highlighted the **risk of disenfranchisement** when addressing concerns over rare illegal voting.
  • Although Republicans in other states continue to pursue similar laws, **Kansas' experience serves as a warning**.
  • Voting rights advocates feel that such requirements would still **disenfranchise many eligible voters** today.
