Bi-Partisan Senate Passage of Kansas Secure and Fair Elections (SAFE) Act
TOPEKA (Mar. 23, 2011) – This morning the Kansas Senate voted by a large bi-partisan majority (36-3) to pass the Secure and Fair Elections (SAFE) Act, advocated by Secretary of State Kris Kobach.
Secretary Kobach stated: “This is a great development for the voters of Kansas. The Senate has approved the SAFE Act, and in so doing, has made it clear that this bill will soon become law. Kansas will soon have the most secure elections in the country.”
“This vote also shows that the people of Kansas spoke loudly and clearly on this question in the 2010 election cycle, and the legislature heard them. The people of Kansas want photo-ID rules and proof of citizenship, and they will soon have them.”
“Protecting the integrity of our elections is not a partisan issue. As today’s vote in the Senate shows, Republicans and Democrats alike want to ensure that every election is won fairly and no election is stolen.”
Opposed were Sen. Oletha Faust-Goudeau (D - Wichita), Sen. David Haley (D - Kansas City) and Sen. Roger Reitz (R - Manhattan).

The Kansas Senate has approved its version of the Voter photo ID measure.
The house has passed another version.
They'll work it out in a conference Committee.
AP has the Ks. State Senate roll call vote: The 36-3 vote Wednesday by which the Kansas Senate approved a bill to require voters to show photo identification at the polls.
The measure also would require people registering to vote for the first time in Kansas to provide proof of citizenship, starting in 2013.
Of the 32 Republicans, 30 voted "yes," one voted "no" and one did not vote. Of the eight Democrats, six voted "yes" and two voted "no."
-------------------------------I put the "starting in 2013" in italics---for that very reason, Greg!

Is this the version of the bill which sets this in motion in 2013? If so then the illegally registered illegal voters/aliens will be able to vote in the 2012 presidential election.
