A federal appeals court panel rules that a Kansas law requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is unconstitutional

"The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled against Kansas proof-of-citizenship voter registration requirement in a decision issued Wednesday.

The appeals court backed the trial judge’s finding that the requirement, which was championed by then-Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach (R), violated both the Equal Protection clause of the Constitution and the National Voter Registration Act."
