Voting rights advocate Marc Elias touted another big win Monday against MAGA in his ongoing battle to defend elections.
In Kansas, a court permanently blocked a voter suppression law "that targeted voter registration organizations with criminal penalties for 'false representation,'" Elias said on Bluesky.
The GOP-led legislature passed two laws, Democracy Docket said. House Bill 2183 made it illegal to assist voters or collect their ballots and House Bill 2332 required signature verifications for voters.

The court ruled Monday that the laws violate the state's constitution by enforcing an "undue burden" on voters.
Organizations including the League of Women Voters of Kansas, Loud Light, Kansas Appleseed Center for Law and Justice, and Topeka Independent Resource Center sued to stop the laws.
On Dec. 13, the trial court granted the parties’ joint motion for a permanent injunction of the false representation claim.
