Summary

The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that New Hampshire can fully bar voters from using student IDs during the Nov. 3 midterm elections, a request backed by the Republican National Committee. A lower court judge had ruled officials must still consider student IDs when voters lacked other identification. The Supreme Court majority said the judge's intervention came too close to the election. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented.
