新罕布什尔州上诉至美国最高法院 要求全面禁止学生证用于投票身份证明

Concord——新罕布什尔州近日向美国最高法院提出上诉,要求大法官在即将到来的中期选举中全面禁止把学生证作为选民身份的任何考量。此前,美国联邦第一巡回上诉法院维持了联邦地区法院的一项裁决,确认该州禁止学生证作为投票身份证件的法律有效,但同时拒绝推翻裁决中关于州政府不能完全排除学生证的另一部分。
今年4月,州长 Kelly Ayotte 签署 HB 323 法案成为法律,取消学生证作为领取选票的可接受身份证明。州务卿 David Scanlan 随后指示地方选举官员,不得再接受学生证证明选民身份,包括不得通过州法的“安全阀”条款以其他证据证明身份。而下级法院的裁决意味着,虽然学生证本身不再是被接受的身份证件,选举官员在登记或投票时仍可将其作为证明个人身份的参考证据——州政府此次上诉正是要求最高法院叫停这一做法。
Scanlan 在上诉中表示,在短时间内重新培训地方选举官员和公众“实际上不可能”,并警告目前的分化做法可能造成法律适用不一致、选民困惑,甚至剥夺选民权利。11月3日,新罕布什尔州选民将选出州长、联邦参议员及全部联邦众议员席位。

New Hampshire Asks U.S. Supreme Court to Ban All Consideration of Student IDs for Voting
CONCORD — New Hampshire has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, asking the justices to ban any consideration of student identification in the upcoming midterm elections. The notice of appeal came a day after the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a federal district court ruling affirming a state law that bans student IDs as voter identification, while also declining to overturn the part of the ruling that concluded the state could not fully exclude them.
In April, Governor Kelly Ayotte signed HB 323 into law, eliminating student IDs as an acceptable form of identification for obtaining a ballot. Secretary of State David Scanlan then directed local election officials to no longer accept student IDs to prove a voter's identity, including under the state's safety-valve provision, which lets voters present other evidence of identity. In practice, the lower-court rulings mean student IDs are not accepted on their own, but election officials may still consider them as evidence of identity when a voter registers or votes — the practice the state now asks the Supreme Court to halt completely.
In his appeal, Scanlan argued that re-educating local election officials and the public in a short time is "practically impossible" and risks voter confusion and inconsistent application of the law, if not voter disenfranchisement. New Hampshire voters will choose a governor, a U.S. senator and both of the state's U.S. House seats on November 3.
