Supreme Court allows New Hampshire to bar student IDs for voting

The Supreme Court issued a ruling on Thursday, letting New Hampshire prohibit voters from using student identification cards to prove their identities before casting ballots in the midterm elections.

The decision reverses a federal judge’s order blocking New Hampshire from enforcing a law that barred student IDs from being used for voter ID. The law took effect in April and remained in place for the state’s primary elections in September until the judge put a block on the measure earlier this month.
