U.S. District Judge Eric Melgren granted the ACLU’s motion to send back to state court our challenge to the creation of a two-tiered voter registration system in Kansas.

On November 21, 2013 we filed a lawsuit  in Shawnee County District Court charging that by creating a two-tiered voter registration system Kansas was dividing eligible voters into separate and unequal classes, in violation of the Kansas Constitution. When Secretary of State Kris Kobach responded by removing our suit to federal court, we in turn filed a motion to send the case back to state court.  Now that Judge Melgren has agreed with our motion we will file additional papers in Shawnee County District Court in the next few weeks.
