8:30 p.m.
Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach says his office will appeal a federal judge's ruling that Kansas cannot require proof of citizenship in order to vote.
In a statement late Monday, Kobach says the ruling by Federal Judge Julie Robinson is an "extreme conclusion" that "is unlikely to survive on appeal."
Kobach says: "Her conclusion is incorrect, and it is inconsistent with precedents of the U.S. Supreme Court.
Robinson issued a permanent injunction blocking a law championed by Kobach that requires proof such as a birth certificate to vote.
