Supreme Court says New Hampshire student IDs can’t be used to vote in November
The unsigned order blocks a lower court stay and leaves in place a state rule backed by Republicans and challenged by voting rights groups.
- On Thursday, the Supreme Court cleared the way for New Hampshire to fully ban student IDs for voting during the midterm elections, granting a Republican-backed emergency appeal.
- New Hampshire passed HB 323 earlier this year to mandate government-issued IDs, as State Rep. Donald McFarlane argued that academic institutions lack the credentialing standards of government agencies.
- Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented, writing that the injunction was "reasonably designed to address alleged misinformation" and that the court should not violate the Purcell principle.
- New Hampshire Attorney General John Formella called the decision a "victory for common sense," while the Coalition for Open Democracy's legal team released a statement saying the order is "wrong."
- The order comes 12 days before the Nov. 3 election, as voters will decide a tight U.S. Senate contest where the seat is rated lean Democrat by the Cook Political Report.
