CEC Fights Against Fusion Voting’s Risks of Voter Confusion and Election Administration Errors
The Center for Election Confidence (CEC) has filed an amicus brief in United Kansas v. Schwab, urging the Kansas Court of Appeals to affirm the 28th Judicial District (Saline County) district court and uphold the state’s longstanding anti-fusion voting law, K.S.A. § 25-213. CEC argues that fusion voting, which permits a candidate for an office to appear on the ballot as the nominee of multiple parties, enhances the risk of voter confusion and errors in the ballot creation and tabulation processes. United Kansas is the latest in a string of efforts by the Left to attack long-standing state ballot access laws.
