      In today's order, Justice Ginsburg, joined by Justice Kagan, dissented, noting that the "risk of voter confusion appears severe here" because different rules applied during the primary election.https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4999244-18A335-Brakebill-v-Jaeger-Order.html …

      Justice Kavanaugh did not participate. Also, as I've noted before, justices do not need to state their votes in applications like this. As such, all that we know is that a majority voted against vacating the stay, and that 2 of the 8 justices participating noted their dissent.

      Those seeking to have the requirement — that a voter's ID have their "current residential street address" — enjoined say it discriminates against Native Americans in North Dakota. (The district court agreed.)pic.twitter.com/jbvDolZeBJ

          Correction, via @ssamcham: The ND SCOTUS application (see the thread that this is a reply to) only needed to be a 4-4, not majority, vote for the voter ID requirement to be enforced for this election b/c a tie vote would mean the 8th Cir decision, staying the injunction, stands.

          #NorthDakotans must present either a driver’s license, a state-issued photo ID, a tribal ID, or they must sign a Voter’s Affidavit. If ID is expired or does not display their address, they will be required to present proof of address, ie utility bill, bank statement, or paycheck.

          So, essentially, the requirement to secure the correct documentation becomes kind of a pro forma poll tax...

          In fucking North Dakota? What’s the population there little over 200k? Why is even a state, just combine The Dakotas into one state! Definitely don’t need 2 senators each!

          Such a bullshit argument. What quack judge saw a less than 1% chance of voter fraud and though "we must disenfranchise people to prevent this!" You have a greater chance of a fatal reaction to prescription medication than there is of voter fraud

          Wonder how many cases of actual fraud in ND there was? Maybe 3 at the most. Not enough to change the outcome of any race.
