"I think what happened is these immigration policies and these ideas about immigration hit home, and people realized, 'Hey, this isn't what we were signing up for,' Hoeme said."
"Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach said in a statement that Ceballos's case demonstrates the very real personal and community consequences of having no citizenship verification at the time of registration or indeed at any point in the voting process."
