Kansas governor vetoes legislation that would disqualify slow-arriving mail-in ballots

TOPEKA — Gov. Laura Kelly on Monday vetoed legislation that would eliminate a three-day grace period for advance mail-in ballots to arrive after Election Day. The proposal would result in thousands of ballots from lawfully registered voters being thrown in the trash during high-turnout elections. Under current law, ballots are counted if they are postmarked by Election Day and received by the following Friday. Senate Bill 4 would require ballots to be returned instead by 7 p.m. on Election Day. Sherman Smith, Kansas Reflector.
