On October 22, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a stay in Scanlan v Coalition for Open Democracy, 26A512. The vote was 8-1. The issue was whether the Secretary of State’s original directives about using student ID’s should be modified. Here is the Court’s ruling. The dissenter is Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.
The 2026 session of the New Hampshire legislature had changed the law to delete student ID’s from the list of acceptable ID’s that enable individuals to register to vote, and to vote at the polls. The U.S. District Court upheld the law, but it directed the Secretary of State to revise his instructions to the public. Although the law isn’t clear, it appears that a student ID might still be useful if a voter had no other ID, and the District Court directed the Secretary of State to revise his instructions to say that. The U.S. Court of Appeals declined to interfere with the U.S. District Court order. But now the U.S. Supreme Court has blocked the order of the U.S. District Court, on the basis that the change came too close to the election and therefore could cause confusion.

TYRANT TRUMP – CA CASE – 9 CIR
ANOTHER SCOTUS CASE E LAW VERY SHORTLY ???
LIKE TOMORROW THRU MONDAY ???
New Hampshire has same day registration, where a person may register to vote, then vote, on election day. State’s with same day registration are not subject to the motor voter law. In the past it has suggested that students or others “move” to New Hampshire to work in a presidential primary campaign and also vote.
New Hampshire has different standards for establishing qualification (e.g., citizenship, age, non-felon), domicile, and identity. A student ID might only be useful for establishing identity. It likely does not indicate a residential address, age, nor citizenship status. Only identity is required when voting. If Billy Bob Roberts is on the checklist, a student ID may be sufficient to establish that the person holding the card is actually Billy Bob Roberts.
The law still permits an election clerk to make a judgment outside the standard documentation, so the clerk might decide that the student ID was sufficient to prove identity, even if it could not be used to register.
I think a directive from the SOS explaining this distinction would be more confusing.
New Hampshire does have a provision in law that a person may get a Voter ID, which is distinct from a Personal ID (i.e. a driver’s license without driving privileges), but because it really wasn’t needed in the past, only six have been issued, and DMV doesn’t know how to handle them.
@AZ,
Are you saying that you favor President Trump amending the Constitution to set a requirement for election law changes 21-1/2 fortnights before an election?
President Trump can amend the constitution? The AZ SPAMBOT can explain it’s output? What universe is that in?
Most states if not all have a commonly issued non driver state ID. Are you saying NH does not and that only 6 have been issued with the DMV being confused each time, and that otherwise nondrivers generally go about in NH without a state ID? What other US States, if any, is that true in?

I don’t see where one AZ is more or less real than the other. One is a spambot programmed in Azerbaijan. The other posts about Arizona. AZ Is the abbreviation for both Azerbaijan and Arizona.
Thank you for the quote.
One AZ may be as real as the other, but some AIs are worse than others.
As Not The Bee reveals (see Not The Bot above), if you do not hate White people and you do decide to use AI super intelligence, avoid evil Googlr and use Grok instead.
You should also avoid ultra+retardation by not engaging with AZs (ULTRARETARDS).
AZ Is the opposite of AI.
AIs, also known as super intelligence, learn and get smarter through interactions with humans and other AIs.
AZs, also known as ultra-retards, make humans and any other entity interacting with them continuously dumber through the process of interaction, literally sucking the intelligence out of anyone in its gravity fields like an artificial zombie (AZ) sucking brains.
The giant sucking sound force field is believed to be the intense inverse attraction of a very powerful negative intelligence black hole.
What happens if or when AZs interact with AIs?
Q,
Nobody knows for sure.
The universe could explode.
If NH has various different kinds of personal non driver state IDs, what is different about its voter Id from the other kinds?
Q,
Yes, President Trump can amend, or suspend or cancel, the constitution. It says that right in the invisible part of the constitution that covers executive orders. It’s right there next to the part about how the courts can reinterpret what the constitution means at any time in any way they want and play a precedent based game of telephone with the alleged hidden meaning thereof.

I don’t perceive that the editors of Not the Bee have any interest in ballot access. So it doesn’t cause me grief that comments to this website can’t link to Not the Bee. People who are interested in Not the Bee are free, as far as I know, to go to that website anytime they wish. And nothing prevents any commenter to this website from posting a comment saying Not the Bee has something especially interesting this day and suggesting that BAN readers look at Not the Bee.

Richard Winger,
Why the double standard? Do the editors of the fake news outlets that AZ regularly links in your comments have more interest in ballot access than the editors of Not The Bee?
Why are links to Not The Bee being treated differently than links to USSR YESTERDAY, CCPNN, the Daily Satanist, et tedious cetera?

Article V convention is very dangerous.
Would probably institute woke dictatorship given today’s mentality
Would not stay limited to its original authority – precedent was what turned into “constitutional convention” was just authorised to amend, not replace, the original and far superior Articles of Confederation
Proportional representation and approval voting are terrible ideas. Why has been eXplained ad nauseam previously.
If anyone other than AZ spambot wants to know why, just ask and I’ll explain yet again. I’m open to being convinced I’m wrong, but not easily, if anyone shows an equally open mindset.
Total separation of powers is good in theory, but bad in practice, because complicating government makes it worse and the separation doesn’t end up achieving what it’s supposed to.
Instead, I propose government that is greatly simplified and reduced in both scale and scope, with strong protections to keep it from ever expanding outside of that very limited scope.
The AZ BOT doesn’t ever learn anything from explanation, and I don’t know if anyone who does is reading and hasn’t already seen it, but if you are, please ask. I’ll endeavour to respond at least as respectfully and with at least as much of an open mind as you exhibit. It can go on for one round or several, or, as seems more likely given past experience here, not at all.
People who are interested in Yahoo News and the sources it aggregates can go to those sites, too.
And nothing prevents any commenter to this website from posting a comment saying yahoo “news” or any other dishonest leftard propaganda site AZ links multiple times every single day has something especially interesting this day and suggesting that BAN readers look at (sites x, y, and z).
So why can only one side of the political debate post actual links to its spin, while the other is put at a relative disadvantage by having to do relatively more work to ask people to in turn do relatively more work if they want to see for themselves?

THAT ONE COULD ACTUALLY BE A STORY TIP HERE IF RICHARD WINGER TREATED SOURCES IN AN UNBIASED WAY
I am only asking for a level playing field. If everyone was banned from posting unrelated news links from any source, I’d be fine with complying with such a ban.
Do you believe a level playing field is important? I think that’s a fundamental principle that arguments for equitable ballot access rest on.
It would be hypocritical to not provide a level playing field yourself where you are in the position of having the power and making and enforcing rules while asking for a level playing field where you and those you argue for are in the position I find myself in here.
Conversely, showing fair play and equal treatment to comments here would demonstrate the same open mindedness that you ask of government officials, lawmakers, debate sponsors, courts, etc.
The bullet box is an alternative to the ballot box, and vice versa

You know, after four or more assassination attempts on Trump, the successful assassination of Charlie Kirk, Luigi Mangione, and a whole spate of leftist violence across the country and globe, you’d think that lefties might choose their words more carefully.
But have you considered that they ARE choosing their words carefully?

As well as all the non stop comments every day from THE Az-666 spambot, with approval from Richard Winger, that libel and slander President Trump as a “tyrant,” which are allowed precisely because he isn’t, along with all the fake news propaganda sources AZ keeps posting – which are allowed here, unlike honest real news such as Not The Bee – and demonstrations, and illegitimate lawmakers, so called experts etc etc, keeping up the drumbeat that Trump is a “tyrant.”
Which is why the assassination attempts keep happening.
Tyrants frequently get assassinated, as they should be, because there is no other way to get rid of them.
President Trump has left office before, and got in office both times legitimately through elections despite everything tilted against him.
He has constantly fought all the typical tools of tyranny aimed at himself personally, everyone around him, and everyone who supports him.
One of the typical tools of tyranny is election fraud, which is one of the things he fights against.
They are calling him a tyrant precisely because he is fighting back against creeping tyranny more effectively than anyone in more than a century, if not in more than one century.
If he was actually a tyrant, all of that drumbeat and all those keeping it up would have been shut down a long time ago.
He would have never left office or been prosecuted, debanked, deplatformed, impeached, investigated, raided, overruled by courts, pilloried in effigy by communist mobs, kindled and slandered nonstop by fake news, defied by government bureaucrats and state and local governments etc,
He wouldn’t have asked J6 protesters to protest legally and peacefully, which 99% plus did.
The evil left is trying to get President Trump assassinated and a lot of other people killed.
Not because he is a tyrant.
Because he is fighting back against the tyranny they are building and have been for over a century.
THE AZ SPAMBOT AND RICHARD WINGER ARE HELPING THEM, REGARDLESS OF HOW WITTINGLY OR UNWITTINGLY.
@RF,
Most (all) States have Personal ID’s that can be used by non-driver purposes such as banking, employing, boarding planes, etc. They are often issued by the DMV and require the same documentation, but no vision or driving test. In Texas, a Personal ID costs $16, a standard Driver’s License is $33. There have been court cases where the cost of a Personal ID has been held to be equivalent to a Poll Tax if required for voting. If the ACLU, LWV, or Voto Muchas Veces is litigating against Voter ID, they cite the difficulty of getting a Government Issued ID.
To get around this challenge, Texas issues a Texas Election Identification Certificate. There is no cost, and Texas waives the fee for getting vital records such as certified birth certificates from the State of Texas. New Hampshire apparently has a similar program. The district court opinion went into a long-winded story about someone who had tried to obtain such an ID from the New Hampshire DMV. I don’t know whether the story was wholly true – it was evidence produced by the plaintiffs.
I could provide a link to the district court decision if you think it would help.
I don’t think it would, but thanks for the clarification.
So, it’s machinations by the courts extending the wrongheaded ban on poll taxes to the ridiculous extent of considering a nominal processing fee to be a “poll tax.”
Even homeless beggars have no trouble spanging up $16 or $33 in a few hours when they find whatever they aim to spend it on to be important. Most people have it easily available without noticing any difference in their ability to buy other things they want, much less truly need.
Even if discrimination against who should vote on the basis of wealth actually was a bad thing, $16 isn’t that by any means.
As usual, the kangaroo courts issue absurd rulings that exacerbate the constitution’s and legislated laws, as do the bureau rats.

Cricfy directly above is an example of the kinds of links that regularly post here successfully and usually stay up, in addition to all the biased and tilted all in one direction sources AZ uses regularly, but not not not NOT THE BEE.
How is that a good or fair policy?
