NewzSupreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson issued a public dissent on Thursday regarding a ruling that permits New Hampshire to enforce restrictions on the use of student IDs for voting in the upcoming midterm elections. The decision allows the state to fully block these forms of identification at polling locations, a move that Jackson opposed.
In her brief written dissent, the junior liberal justice stated that she would have maintained the lower court's previous stance, which would have allowed the continued use of student IDs. The ruling marks a point of contention within the court regarding state-level voting requirements and the accessibility of the ballot for student populations.
