Letter to Kris Kobach from League of Women Voters of Kansas, ACLU, and Dechert LLP

Document Date: December 18, 2015

On December 17, 2015, the League of Women Voters, the ACLU, the ACLU of Kansas, and Dechert LLP sent a follow-up letter to Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach on behalf of our clients Ralph Ortiz, Wayne Fish, Donna Bucci, Tad Stricker, and T.J. Boyton, and all eligible Kansans who sought to register to vote while submitting a DMV driver’s license application but were not allowed to register and were instead placed on a “suspense list” for not providing documents to prove their citizenship. The letter explains that the documentary proof of citizenship law has damaged the League of Women Voters’ ability to perform its mission of registering people to vote.
