She says take the word of everyone who says they're a citizen!!! This judge is a mexico firster and should be hung for her treason.
Federal judge overturns Kansas law, says voters don’t have to prove citizenship to register
may 17 2016 Requiring would-be voters to prove their citizenship when they try to register at motor vehicle bureaus is a burden on their right to vote, a federal judge ruled Tuesday, striking down Kansas’s law.
Judge Julie A. Robinson said only a few noncitizens have broken the rules to vote in Kansas in recent years, and that doesn’t outweigh the hurdles placed in the way of thousands of legal voters who are struggling to prove their citizenship.
States instead should rely on would-be voters’ word that they are citizens, Judge Robinson said.
“The record in this case suggests that there is a less burdensome way for the state to assess whether applicants meet the citizenship eligibility requirement; namely, by asking applicants to complete an attestation of citizenship under penalty of perjury,” she wrote in a decision that’s likely to reverberate across the country at a time when voting rights is a hot topic.
