The Kansas Supreme Court issues rulings on several challenges to a 2021 election law.

 The majority of the court upheld the part of the law that requires election officials to match signatures on advance mail ballots to voter registration records. Voting rights groups in the state claimed that the measure violates state voting rights. In fact, Justice Caleb Stegall wrote in his majority opinion that the court has not identified a fundamental right to vote in the state constitution. Stegall writes, “It's just not there.”

While upholding part of the law, Justices sided with the challengers to the part of the law that would make it a crime for someone to give the appearance of being an election official. The high court said the provision swept up protected speech and ordered the lower court to reconsider issuing an emergency injunction against it.
