Lawsuit Challenges NH Student ID Voter Restriction
From court challenges on student IDs to new requirements for absentee ballots, voting in…
The Coalition for Open Democracy, a voting rights group, has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court to challenge a New Hampshire law that restricts the use of high school and college-issued IDs for voting purposes. The law, House Bill (HB) 323, was signed into law by Governor Kelly Ayotte in June. The lawsuit, coordinated by the Coalition, aims to preserve the use of these IDs for voting and targeting the Secretary of State's Office directive that barred their use.
The legal counsel for the Coalition stated that the Secretary of State's directive unlawfully extends HB 323 and that students are not barred from using their IDs to register to vote. A motion hearing is scheduled for August 31.
