Supreme Court lets New Hampshire bar student IDs at polls; Jackson dissents

The Supreme Court let New Hampshire fully ban student IDs as voter identification in the November midterms, and Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson publicly dissented.

Posted Updated (10 d ago)

The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for New Hampshire to fully ban student IDs as voter identification in the midterm elections. Fox News reports that Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson publicly dissented.

The Guardian describes the ruling as a brief unsigned order that sided with an appeal backed by the Republican National Committee. The justices relied on a long-standing principle that lower federal courts should not change election rules close to an election. NBC News reports the court found a federal judge should not have changed the rules this near the Nov. 3 vote. Fox News reports the court warned of voter confusion.

The Hill reports the request came from New Hampshire's top election official. A lower-court judge had ruled that officials went further than a new state law restricting voter ID allowed. The Supreme Court's order means that ruling does not apply to the midterms.

The Guardian reports that voting rights advocates say the ban would disenfranchise young and low-income voters. Republicans say it is needed to combat voter fraud.
