Voting rights advocates sue over 2 new Kansas election laws
June 2, 2021 GMT
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) Two national nonprofit groups that encourage voting by mail sued Kansas election officials Wednesday over new election laws passed this year by the Republican-controlled Kansas Legislature.
The lawsuit from VoteAmerica and the Voter Participation Center comes a day after three Kansas voting rights groups The League of Women Voters of Kansas, Kansas Appleseed and Loud Light sued in Shawnee County Court.
Both lawsuits contend the laws are unconstitutional because they suppress free speech and disenfranchise voters.
The federal lawsuit seeks to block enforcement of a law that prohibits out-of-state groups from mailing advance ballot applications to any voter in the state and makes it a crime to include the voter’s name, address and other information on the application, even if the voter provided the information and requested an advance mail ballot application.
A set of controversial voting changes are set to take effect in Kansas on Thursday, July 1, the same day as a major ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court which could dampen the hopes of activists seeking to get the new laws thrown out in state and federal court.
Dueling state and federal lawsuits were filed last month seeking to invalidate the two laws passed by the Legislature over the veto of Gov. Laura Kelly, which they argue unconstitutionally inhibits residents to vote and infringes on their free speech rights.
Both lawsuits requested an injunction blocking the laws from taking effect orders that haven t yet been granted, as both judges have given state officials more time to respond to the claims. That means the provisions went into effect Thursday, at least for now.
