A set of controversial voting changes are set to take effect in Kansas on Thursday, July 1, the same day as a major ruling from the U.S. Supreme Court which could dampen the hopes of activists seeking to get the new laws thrown out in state and federal court.
Dueling state and federal lawsuits were filed last month seeking to invalidate the two laws passed by the Legislature over the veto of Gov. Laura Kelly, which they argue unconstitutionally inhibits residents to vote and infringes on their free speech rights.
Both lawsuits requested an injunction blocking the laws from taking effect orders that haven t yet been granted, as both judges have given state officials more time to respond to the claims. That means the provisions went into effect Thursday, at least for now.
