KTVZ By MARGARET STAFFORD The Kansas Court of Appeals has reinstated a lawsuit challenging a law that opponents say restricts voters' rights. The ruling on Friday sends the lawsuit back to Shawnee County District Court. Provisions of the law enacted by the Republican-controlled legislature in 2021 limit how many advance mail ballots individuals can collect and require election officials to match the signatures on an advance ballot to a person's voter registration record. Supporters of the law argued limiting ballot collections would prevent 'ballot harvesting' by candidates or campaign workers.
