Kansas Begins to Cull Voter List

There are more than 36,000 people in Kansas who have tried to register to vote since a voter ID law went into effect in 2013, but then did not complete their registration by providing a birth certificate or other form of citizenship, the New York Times reports.

“This month, under a rule adopted by the Kansas secretary of state’s office, county election officials throughout the state began to cull names from the voters list, removing people who had been on it at least 90 days. Those removed from the list must start the registration process over in order to vote.”
