新罕布什尔州法官支持一项共和党支持的法律, 要求缺席选民提供照片身分证或宣誓书, A New Hampshire judge has upheld a Republican-backed law requiring absentee voters to provide photo ID or an affidavit, dismissing a lawsuit from three visually impaired residents who claimed the rule created undue barriers. 该法案由阿约特总督于2025年8月签署,要求通过照片副本、公证或亲自提交身份证明,使缺席投票标准与在场要求相一致。 The law, signed by Governor Ayotte in August 2025, mandates ID submission via photo copy, notarization, or in-person presentation, aligning absentee voting standards with in-person requirements. David Ruoff法官裁定这一要求规定了合理、非歧视性的负担,并符合选举的完整性。 Judge David Ruoff ruled the requirement imposes reasonable, nondiscriminatory burdens and serves election integrity. 国家官员赞扬这一决定,而投票权倡导者则批评该决定没有必要。 State officials praised the decision, while voting rights advocates criticized it as unnecessary. 原告可以向州最高法院提出上诉,对另一项投票法的相关异议在联邦法院继续审理。 The plaintiffs may appeal to the state Supreme Court, and related challenges to another voting law continue in federal court.
