Supreme Court allows New Hampshire to ban student IDs for voting
The Supreme Court granted an emergency appeal allowing New Hampshire to prohibit the use of student IDs as a backup method of identification during midterm elections. The court cited the Purcell principle, which advises against changing election rules close to an election date. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued a dissent, arguing the lower court's order was intended to prevent misinformation rather than change the law.
Why it matters Voters in New Hampshire may face different identification requirements when attempting to cast ballots in the upcoming Senate race.
