10th Circuit Court grants Kobach expedited review, sets arguments for Aug. 23 in voting case
The 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has scheduled oral arguments for Aug. 23 in a federal court case over whether the state’s proof-of-citizenship requirements violated the National Voter Registration Act.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has until July 1 to file a brief in the case. Briefs by the plaintiff, Steven Wayne Fish, are due July 21. A time for oral arguments hasn’t yet been scheduled.
Monday’s order comes three days after the Denver-based court denied Kobach’s request for a stay of a lower court ruling but approved his request for expedited review.
Kobach is appealing a May 17 opinion by U.S. District Judge Julie Robinson that ordered the state to begin registering, for federal races, Kansans who had applications suspended or canceled because they didn’t provide proof of citizenship when they obtained a driver’s license.
