New North Dakota Lawsuit Filed to Help Voters Who Have Tried and Failed to Get Acceptable Voter ID

On October 30, the Spirit Lake Tribe of North Dakota filed a federal lawsuit, naming over 100 particular Native American residents of North Dakota who have found it impossible to obtain the type of voter ID that the state requires. Although the Eighth Circuit earlier this year refused to enjoin the North Dakota law requiring voters to present an ID that shows their address, the Eighth Circuit did say that if particular voters cannot comply, a new lawsuit is possible.

The new lawsuit is Spirit Lake Tribe v Jaeger, 1:18cv-222. Here is the Complaint. Thanks to Rick Hasen for the link.
