Proof of citizenship before voter registration is debated in Kansas
Tagged: citizenship, Kansas, voter registration
With sentiment against illegal immigrants strong, Kansas is among a dozen states this year that could require proof of citizenship before someone can register to vote.
Supporters say such a law is necessary because of what they think is a growing trend among illegal immigrants to register to vote. Opponents see it as anti-Hispanic legislation that’s a solution for a problem that doesn’t exist.
Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh, the state’s chief election official, has heard stories about illegal immigrants registering, but “never have I had anybody bring me proof where I can prosecute.””*
