Donna Bell has been a regular voter in Kansas for more than 30 years. A resident of Lawrence, she says she was born in the United States and so were both of her parents.
So it came as a surprise to her earlier this year when she received a letter saying she would not be able to vote again until she submits papers proving that she is a U.S. citizen.
"I was taken aback," Bell said during a phone interview. "I've never been asked for that before. I have been asked to show ID, but not citizenship. I was taken aback because I wasn't aware of any changes in law to that extent."
