Statement from ACLU of Kansas Executive Director Micah Kubic:
A Ford County resident reached out to us in the fall of 2017 regarding voting issues there and County Clerk Debbie Cox’s seeming unwillingness to help or even address the concerns.
The ACLU of Kansas will host a day of discussion on topics as broad as racial profiling, voting rights, immigration and more for its conference, “Still Separate, Still Unequal: Pursing Racial Justice in Kansas,” Friday Oct. 5.
Join us for a candidate forum on criminal justice in Sedgwick County on Monday, October 1st. This forum is sponsored by Kansans for Smart Justice and the Kansas Coalition for Citizen Participation.
Responding to a June lawsuit filed against him by the ACLU and its Kansas affiliate in the Kansas Supreme Court, Montgomery County Attorney Larry Markle offers arguments unrelated to the simple question of whether his diversion program complies with the law.
The ACLU of Kansas has petitioned the district court for lists of Johnson County voters who cast provisional ballots in August’s primary and for lists of voters whose advance mail ballots election officials rejected because their signature did not match their voter record.
The Kansas Supreme Court agreed Aug. 29th to hear a case filed by the ACLU and its Kansas affiliate against Montgomery County Prosecutor Larry Markle for hiding diversion opportunities from defendants.
