Voter ID Law Blocked In North Dakota

Another voter ID law has just been blocked by a federal judge, this time in North Dakota. A US District judge issued an injunction against North Dakota’s voter ID law, concluding it created “substantial and disproportionate burdens” for Native American voters in that state. This decision adds to three earlier decisions in North Carolina, Wisconsin, and Kansas that also blocked new, restrictive voting laws and adds to the wave of victories for voting rights advocates lately.
