1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:03,600
Speaker 1: Reuters is reporting that thousands of voters are facing big

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:06,560
Speaker 1: problems in Kansas. There in limbo, their voting privileges have

3
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,720
Speaker 1: been suspended until they can prove that their citizens Now.

4
00:00:09,760 --> 00:00:12,360
Speaker 1: This requirement has been in place in Kansas for three years,

5
00:00:12,360 --> 00:00:15,680
Speaker 1: but Reuters decided to illustrate how unfair it is, so

6
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:18,880
Speaker 1: they showcase the plight of thirty seven year old hotel manager.

7
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:21,599
Speaker 1: The guy moves from state to state due to his job.

8
00:00:21,920 --> 00:00:24,759
Speaker 1: After arriving in Kansas, he went to the motor vehicle department,

9
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,880
Speaker 1: got a driver's license and registered to vote, and then

10
00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: he was shocked when he was not on the voter

11
00:00:30,400 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: rolls for election. The poor guy didn't know that he

12
00:00:34,080 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: had to prove citizenship. Now. According to a writer's analysis,

13
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,960
Speaker 1: three groups are hardest hit by the law, young voters

14
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,440
Speaker 1: because they don't have access to documents needed to provide citizenship,

15
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:50,080
Speaker 1: the unaffiliated, whatever the hell that is, and Democrats supposedly

16
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,480
Speaker 1: the other two hardest hit groups in the Republican controlled state.

17
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,400
Speaker 1: I guess Republicans know the secret password to get the

18
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: right documents and they're not sharing it. Is that it now.

19
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:01,760
Speaker 1: This law has been challenged in court but has managed

20
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 1: to survive. Now this upsets a guy named Pratt Wiley,

21
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:08,560
Speaker 1: who's the director of voter Expansion for the d n C.

22
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:12,760
Speaker 1: Wiley says that voting rules like photo I D laws

23
00:01:12,840 --> 00:01:16,240
Speaker 1: have expanded in Republican states, but the one that gets

24
00:01:16,280 --> 00:01:20,280
Speaker 1: him most nervous is the citizenship requirement in Kansas. Mr Pratt,

25
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: why would a citizenship requirement make you Democrats so nervous?

26
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: What in the world is there to be nervous about

27
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: about citizenship
