Letter: Voting issues

To the editor:

I wish to add my support to the letter by Bill Reynolds ( LJW Nov. 10).

Paul Davis wishes to deprive Kansans of one of their most fundamental rights: The right to vote in their own elections. The right to vote is a special privilege available to every citizen of Kansas. Davis wants to take that right away and give it to those who are not, in fact, citizens. He believes that it is wrong to ask for proof of citizenship prior to voting. By so doing he would take away the right of our citizens to control their own government.

Far from benefiting Kansans, the position taken by Davis is designed to harm all of the citizens of the state. Fortunately, the citizens in their wisdom defeated Mr. Davis in his bid to become governor. They were not fooled by a man who wants to take away their fundamental right of self-government and give that right to people who are neither citizens of this state or even this country.
