Kansas supreme court rules state constitution does not provide the right to vote

Narrow decision says lower court failed to identify fundamental right to vote', drawing fiery dissent from three of seven justices

In a bizarre mixed ruling combining several challenges to a 2021 election law, Kansas's supreme court has ruled that its residents have no right to vote enshrined in the state's constitution.

The opinion centering on a ballot signature-verification measure elicited fiery dissent from three of the court's seven justices. But the majority held that the court failed to identify a fundamental right to vote" within the state.
