Power to the people! 
A proof-of-citizenship bill passed the Kansas Senate last year and is awaiting action in the House. The measure also would require Kansans to show a photo ID at the polls. Current Kansas law only requires applicants for voter registration to sign an affidavit swearing they are a legal citizen.
But House Speaker Melvin Neufeld, whose fellow Republicans have made immigration legislation a priority this year, said it's not uncommon for an illegal immigrant to get a voter ID card and try to parlay that into other identification. The National Conference of State Legislatures says legislatures in 11 states have bills requiring proof of citizenship to vote. Arizona is the only state with such a law in place, and it was part of a voter-approved initiative in 2004. That provision has been upheld by federal courts.Last year, The Kansas legislators enacted a law to make it more difficult for illegal immigrants to obtain a driver's license. The law requires either proof of citizenship or, for non-citizens, proof they are lawfully living in the state.
TY to The Kansas Citian!
