The People for the American Way vows an appeal of a ruling that allows Kansas to ensure that only citizens are registering to vote. The promise illustrates how some groups are dedicated to litigating vulnerabilities to criminal conduct into American elections. But state officials in Kansas and Arizona said they are confident the latest decision will stand – and that they do not intend to wait for appeals.
“We will appeal it,” said Sam Wercinski, executive director of the Arizona Advocacy Network. He said no official decision has been made, but he expects voting-rights advocates will file an appeal “within 30 to 60 days.”
