美国最高法院支持新罕布什尔州禁用学生身份证投票

美国最高法院以无署名命令裁定支持共和党全国委员会的上诉，允许新罕布什尔州在中期选举中禁止使用学生身份证作为投票身份验证。1新罕布什尔州州长凯利·艾尔特今年早些时候签署了一项法律，将学生身份证从标准投票身份验证名单中删除。1下级法院曾颁布阻止令禁止该指令生效，但最高法院以接近选举日不应改变选举规则为由推翻了这一决定。1

该裁决引发投票权倡导者的强烈反对。1投票权倡导者担忧该禁令会使年轻选民以及低收入和农村选民无法投票。1共和党则辩称身份证验证法律对防止大规模投票欺诈是必要的。1大法官凯坦吉·布朗·杰克逊对多数意见提出了异议，再次与最高法院其他成员产生分歧。1

The US Supreme Court has sided with the Republican National Committee in upholding a New Hampshire law that prohibits the use of student identification cards for voter verification in the midterm elections.1 The unsigned order from the nation's highest court rejected a lower court's attempt to block the measure, reasoning that election rules should not be altered close to Election Day.1

New Hampshire's Republican Governor Kelly Ayotte signed the legislation earlier this year, removing student IDs from the state's list of acceptable voter identification documents.1 The state has required voters to present identification since 2012.1 Voting rights advocates have raised concerns that the restriction could disenfranchise young voters and potentially affect low-income and rural voters as well.1 However, Republicans have defended voter identification requirements as necessary safeguards against large-scale voting fraud.1

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented from the majority opinion, marking another public break between the justice and the Court.12
