Lawsuit Filed Against New Hampshire's Ban on Student IDs for Voting
- The Coalition for Open Democracy has filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court to challenge the ban on student IDs for voting, claiming it violates constitutional rights.
- The lawsuit targets House Bill 323, which prohibits the use of high school and college-issued IDs at polling places, complicating voting for many students.
- Voting rights advocates warn that the law could disenfranchise young voters who lack access to a driver's license, the primary form of ID accepted under the new rules.
