WASHINGTON _ Kansas quietly filed its petition last week with the U.S. Supreme Court to reinstate Kris Kobach's signature policy requiring voters to provide proof of citizenship to register to vote.
Kansas Attorney General Derek Schmidt and Kansas Secretary of State Scott Schwab's office announced in June their plans to file the petition with the high court after a federal judge struck down the law in 2018. That decision was upheld by the 10th Circuit Court of Appeals this year.
Their offices made no formal announcement when they officially filed the petition late last month.
