US Supreme Court Permits New Hampshire to Restrict Student IDs for Voting
The US Supreme Court allowed New Hampshire to restrict the use of student IDs for voter identification ahead of the midterm elections, overturning a lower court ruling. The decision, supported by Republican officials and the Republican National Committee, cited the Purcell principle against last-minute election rule changes. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented. New Hampshire's law prohibits student IDs as sole or backup identification but includes alternative verification methods. The ruling comes before a closely contested Senate race in the state.
