Kelly Ayotte Signed a Law Banning Student IDs at the Polls. A Judge Found the State Was Misleading Voters About It. The Supreme Court Let It Stand 12 Days Before the Election.
Ayotte quietly signed HB 323, which strips college and high school IDs from New Hampshire's voter ID law. A federal judge ordered the state to stop telling students their IDs could never be used; on Oct. 22 the U.S. Supreme Court lifted that order over Justice Jackson's dissent.
