Kansas Gives Out Wrong Information In Spanish-Language Voter Guides

Kansas has been providing incorrect information to Spanish-speaking voters in its online and printed voter guides. The Spanish guide tells voters they can register up to 15 days before the election, when it’s actually 21 days before the election. It also leaves passports off the list of accepted forms of voter ID, yet passports are included in the English guide.

Here & Now‘s Robin Young talks with Kansas Democratic consultant Chris Reeves, who published word of the error on the blog Daily Kos, about the significance of the incorrect guides, and what’s being done to fix them.
