Judge Upholds Use of Digital Student IDs for Voting in North Carolina

The ruling rejects a Republican challenge, ensuring college students can use digital IDs in the upcoming presidential election.

Wake County Superior Court Judge Keith Gregory ruled against the Republican National Committee's attempt to block the use of digital university IDs for voting.
The decision allows the University of North Carolina's Mobile One cards to be used as valid voter identification.
The ruling is significant as young voters, who often lean Democrat, will now have easier access to vote in the crucial swing state.
The Republican National Committee argued that digital IDs did not meet state requirements and posed a risk of voter fraud, but the judge found no credible evidence to support these claims.
North Carolina is a key battleground state in the upcoming election between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris.
