Kansas Constitution doesn't include right to vote: state high court majority
Fox News
The Kansas Supreme Court released a majority opinion Friday suggesting that the state Constitution's Bill of Rights does not include a right to vote.
The measure requires election officials to match the signatures on advance mail ballots to a person’s voter registration record. The state Supreme Court reversed a lower court’s dismissal of that lawsuit, but the majority rejected arguments from voting rights groups that the measure violates state constitutional voting rights.
In fact, Justice Caleb Stegall, writing for the majority, said that the dissenting justices wrongly accused the majority of ignoring past precedent, holding that the court has not identified a "fundamental right to vote" within the state constitution.
