Kansas Voter ID Law Sets Off a New Battle Over Registration
A lawsuit challenges a proof of citizenship rule that has left thousands of people — many of them young and first-time voters — listed as incomplete registrants."Advocates of voting rights said the Kansas law, like about a dozen similar voter identification laws passed in Republican-led states since 2011, is intended to depress voter turnout among groups that lean Democratic, including low-income and minority voters."

Reaching a Transit Deal, if Not a Compromise in a Feud
The agreement between Governor Andrew M. Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio on a five-year, $29 billion capital plan for the M.T.A. may do little to end their political clashes.The fight is over which entity pays the bills.
This resolution is a recognition of how the transit authority is structured. The expenses are shared between the city the state and the fare box. Control rests with the mayor if he will use it. The transit authority is viewed by the financial industry as an unnecessary expense so control has been ignored while they ran the city.

Abortion at the Supreme Court’s Door
The stakes couldn’t be higher should the Supreme Court choose to take up an abortion case in its new term."So is the future of the right to abortion once again — still — in the hands of Justice Kennedy? It’s nearly impossible to conclude otherwise. Given his vote for the stay, it’s all but certain that he will at least be willing to give the Texas abortion clinics a hearing. The right to abortion, as announced in Roe v. Wade and more or less preserved in Planned Parenthood v. Casey has its origins in Griswold v. Connecticut, the 1965 decision that established the constitutional right to use birth control. The most recent step on the constitutional journey that Griswold initiated 50 years ago came in June with the same-sex marriage decision, Obergefell v. Hodges. Preserving the right to abortion as defined in Casey keeps the court on the path of individual liberty and dignity that Justice Kennedy’s majority opinion in Obergefell celebrated. Permitting the state of Texas to have its way will take us backward."
