Supreme Court says New Hampshire student IDs can’t be used to vote in November
The justices said a lower court acted too close to Election Day, keeping student IDs out of the ballot process.
- On Thursday, the Supreme Court blocked the use of student IDs for voting in New Hampshire's Nov. 3 midterm election, staying a lower court order that permitted them as backup verification.
- The state enacted a law in April excluding student IDs as primary identification, but a federal judge later allowed them as a "safety valve" to establish identity, prompting the state's emergency appeal to the high court.
- Invoking the "Purcell principle," the justices warned against last-minute changes to election rules, while Liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, arguing the court should ensure voters receive accurate information regarding electoral processes.
- The Republican National Committee, which supported the state, warned that the lower court's order "threatens to disrupt identity verification in the state's looming elections," finalizing the prohibition of student IDs for backup verification.
- Voters must now use alternative identification for the Nov. 3 ballot in a competitive Senate race between Republican former Sen. John E. Sununu and Democratic Rep. Chris Pappas for the seat held by retiring Democratic Sen. Jeanne Shaheen.
