BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) -- A federal judge on Monday blocked North Dakota's voter identification law after a group of American Indians said it unfairly burdens them - the latest court ruling against voting laws that critics say disproportionately affect minorities.
U.S. District Judge Daniel Hovland issued a temporary restraining order and criticized the state for its 2013 repeal of provisions that let people without valid IDs vote if someone vouched for them or if they signed an affidavit swearing they were a qualified voter.

Daniel L. Hovland [born 1954] is an Article III federal judge for the United States District Court for the District of North Dakota.Hovland also ruled against a North Dakota 2013 abortion law, and granted an injunction for North Dakota abortion restrictions (2013).Hovland served as the Chief Judge of the Court from 2002 to 2009. He joined the court in 2002 after being nominated by President George W. Bush.
Until this election year, I always wondered how judges appointed by "conservatives" like George W. Bush could rule this way.
Now I know that they're GLOBALISTS.
“So now we have North Dakota along with Wisconsin, Kansas and North Carolina where federal judges have, coincidentally it seems, blocked State voter ID laws.”
I would still think Trump has ND and KS in the bag.
It will probably cost him WI.
Trump should win NC, but in close race, it could cost him the state.
Hopefully the judges will primary targets in any such revolt. Let them reap the lawlessness that they sow.
Clearly this was planned by the DOJ to all occur close to the election so there would be no time to be addressed in the courts.
It’s time we are a nation that abides by laws.
You don’t think these ****ing “judges” aren’t working for the commie Clintoons? Imagine an entire Supreme Court full of these ***holes. You better seriously think twice before you vote for Clintoon. The time has come when we need to make these Federal “judges” run for those gigs.
Free Republic "Thanks for Participating" ribbon tonight.
Awarding an actual trophy would be hurtful and unfair to the other participants.
Did you think this wasn’t going to happen? The federal courts are marxist democrat revolutionary cesspools. Congress needs to remove any judge that performs in this manner.
Don’t you have to show valid ID for welfare?..........
This is absolute madness. Wars have been fought over less.
You have to show a valid I’d to cash a welfare check, an SS check, to buy alcohol, to walk into any club this IS SUCH BS!!!
I have no direct knowledge of this, but I suspect that the Indians cross over for each election....afterall, its their “traditional” homeland and they can claim anything they want...
Trump and conservatives are fighting an all-out war against the shameless, traitorous leftists and globalists who will stop at nothing, break any law, flout any honesty or decency, in a rushed attempt to maintain power, to change the Supreme Court and to install their corrupt Hillary puppet.
We are at peak leftism.
in my state I need to present my ID plus they photogragh my car license just to turn in a tiny amount of aluminum or steel or copper, or circuit boards.
stop thinking ever that the judges are stupid.....they know exactly what they are doing....for the rats, a bought judge stays bought...
W was not the man I voted for twice
NO!!
It means the judges are a corrupt mob of criminals!!!
