Wichita Public Radio reports:
A judge in federal court in Wichita sent back, to federal election officials, a request by Kansas and Arizona to force changes to the national voter registration form on Friday. Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach has implemented citizenship requirements for new voters. The federal form only requires a sworn statement of citizenship. U.S. District Judge Eric Melgren has instructed the U.S. Election Assistance Commission or EAC to make a final decision on the requests by the two states but he kept control of the lawsuit. The EAC has no current commissioners.
