Arizona and Kansas Sue to Force Tough Voter ID Rules

Kansas and Arizona filed a lawsuit against the U.S. federal government on Wednesday seeking court approval for the two states to require proof of U.S. citizenship when registering to vote, according to a court filing.

The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Topeka, Kansas, by the two Republican-led states accuses an agency of President Barack Obama's Democratic administration of preventing them from enforcing state laws aimed at preventing illegal immigrants from voting.
