Did You Know Non Citizen Permanent Residents Are Legally Voting in Our Elections?

A federal appeals court panel ruled recently that Kansas can’t require voters to show proof of citizenship when they register to vote. The ruling was based on a law passed in 2011 called the Secure and Fair Elections (SAFE) Act.
The law contained three essential components:
1. Photo voter ID: Each voter must show photo identification each election, with certain specific exceptions.
2. Identification and security of advance ballots sent by mail: Voters who request advance ballots by mail must submit either their driver’s license numbers or copies of photographic identification documents.
3. Citizenship verification: Each person registering to vote must provide proof of U.S. citizenship.
The law, which took effect in 2013, was ruled unconstitutional and violated the U.S. Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause and the National Voter Registration Act, commonly known as the “motor-voter law.”
The panel incredibly ruled that asking a potential voter to prove they are a citizen at registration does “not justify the burden imposed on the right to vote.”
