Kansas Mail Ballots Face Legal Battle | Topeka News

Kansas is fighting a legal battle to keep its three-day mail-in ballot grace period, as a judge blocked a new law that would have eliminated it — just as the August 4 primary looms. The Attorney General calls the ruling “unprecedented” and plans an emergency appeal to the state’s highest court, arguing the decision is too late and causes confusion as absentee voting already began. The judge sided with voting rights groups, saying the law unfairly burdens voters’ rights and violates the state constitution — especially since postal delays remain a real issue. The U.S. Supreme Court’s recent ruling, which affirmed states’ right to grace periods, adds fuel to the fire, turning this into a high-stakes showdown over how Kansans vote.
