A federal appeals court has rejected Kansas’ effort to reinstate a law requiring prospective voters to provide birth certificates, passports and other documents before registering to vote.
The U.S. 10th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed a lower court’s ruling Wednesday that the policy, crafted and championed by former Kansas Secretary Kris Kobach, places undue barriers to Kansans exercising their constitutional right to vote.
The proof of citizenship law took effect in 2013 and caused thousands of potential voters to go into a suspended registration status when they failed to provide the required documents. The court said the number of suspended voters directly undercuts the state’s argument that the law ensures the integrity of elections.

Texas republicans just had a significant setback in their voter suppression efforts as well.
Maybe republicans should focus more effort on coming up with election platforms that will make people want to vote for them instead of trying to suppress voter turnout.

We desperately need a new Voting Rights Act since SCOTUS torpedoed the one we had. It's clear that free and fair voting in this country continue to be under attack.
Didn't take long for The Usual Tricks to come out:

And now we have people setting a ballot drop box on fire in southern CA and emails being sent to people in Florida and Alaska threatening them with harm if they don't vote for the orange buffoon. It's all so dispiriting.
