Supreme Court revives New Hampshire ban on student IDs for voting days before election

The U.S. Supreme Court issued an emergency order granting New Hampshire's request to stay a federal district court injunction that had previously blocked the state from enforcing its prohibition on student IDs for voter registration and ballot casting. In reviving the restrictions under House Bill 323 ahead of the upcoming election, the justices invoked the principle that federal courts should not alter state voting rules on the eve of an election without sufficient justification. The order ensures that New Hampshire voters will not be able to rely on student identification cards at polling sites while the underlying constitutional challenge brought by voting rights advocates proceeds through the appeals process. Also in this briefing: Ninth Circuit judges push back on DOJ bid to set aside 20,000 California mail ballots; Saudi, Pakistani and Turkish envoys meet in Tehran to head off wider war; Five million fewer Americans on SNAP as food pantries and school meal programs strain.
