BELLE PLAINE, Kan. (AP) - A federal judge has ordered Kansas to suspend a new law prohibiting out-of-state groups from mailing advance ballot applications.
The ruling sides with two national nonprofit groups who contend it disenfranchises voters. U.S. District Judge Kathryn Vratil granted on Friday the preliminary injunction against the law sought by VoteAmerica and the Voter Participation Center.
The law that is the focus of the litigation was one of two voting laws that were passed this year over the veto of Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly.
It also makes it a crime to include the voter's name, address and other information on advance ballot applications, even if the voter provided the information and requested an advance mail ballot application.
