ACLU Sues to Block New Hampshire's New Voter ID Law

The lawsuit claims the law, requiring proof of citizenship and photo ID, threatens to disenfranchise thousands of voters.

The ACLU of New Hampshire filed the lawsuit on behalf of several organizations and five voters in U.S. District Court in Concord.
The new law, signed by Republican Governor Chris Sununu, mandates proof of U.S. citizenship and photo identification to vote, eliminating current affidavit exceptions.
Plaintiffs argue the law is unconstitutional, citing similar cases where courts have struck down such requirements.
The law is set to take effect after the November elections, with the lawsuit seeking to block its enforcement.
Officials defending the law claim it will enhance election integrity, while critics argue it creates unnecessary barriers to voting.
