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.

Yes, Texas too. How do these people buy cigarettes and beer, with no ID?
How come a gas pump in North Dakota knows who I am in under 30 seconds, but we can’t have voter ID?
What if all the states that have voter ID laws just decided to ignore the courts and enforce them anywise?
It’s not reasonable to claim that migrants don’t have ID or have difficulty getting ID.
According to the link below, foreigners can obtain consular cards while in another country. To get a consular card, they need a passport and...yes...a national picture ID card. Just about every migrant has been born into societies that require picture ID.

In the USA:
you cannot see your first Obamacare doctor without a picture ID
you cannot apply for welfare without a picture ID
you cannot buy a plane ticket without a picture ID
you cannot apply for college without a picture ID
you cannot open a bank account without a picture ID
you cannot buy liquor or cigarettes without a picture ID
State DMVs give free picture ID cards for voter purposes. States also provide permanent absentee ballots (mail-in) for those who can’t easily get to the polls.
so why is ID such a problem? unless the intent is to gerrymander the election as has been done with relocating migrants to specific areas?
They should have used Indiana’s law as a model, like TN did. The SCOTUS ruled that their law was Constitutional and, fortunately, our state legislature chose it to use while putting our voter ID law together.
Thank you both for your very important posts.
The 'rats and their loyal partners in the judiciary are working overtime to rig the November Presidential election.
Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.
People have ignored those goals all these years and now we find ourselves where we are.
Interesting list of judges...Some appointed by Bush, some confirmed by GOP Senate...
I think just one didn’t go Globalist.

G'night.
There is ZERO chance Hillary Clinton will not be the next president.
America has become the center of the Axis of Evil.
Russia and China have more credibility than us now.
They’ll be scary to watch. No one’s done a thing to stop them so why would we expect them to now?
Good night. See ya tomorrow.
It's time for just such a revolution.
And used state-based military assets to do such a thing.
Including nukes.

voter ID laws are racist, doncha know?
This is precisely how hillary and the democrats will win the election - by getting everyone, legal or illegal, to vote two or three times.
And the liberal judges will abet the process.
