North Dakota has no voter registration, so proof of identity makes sense. But Republicans made it so that one's address had to be a residential address instead of a P.O. box knowing full well that Native Americans on reservations rely exclusively on the latter in large numbershttps://twitter.com/AriBerman/status/1049778552013541376 …

A fair criticism, but what other than an address could prove state residency?

Having the state formally count Tribal ID cards that were issued to those who reside in the state. Their original ID law didn't even count tribal IDshttps://www.narf.org/cases/nd-voter-id/ …

I guess my question really is, Requiring an address seems like it could be a good faith attempt to verify state residency.. Are we sure it isn't?

“Good faith” doesn’t matter. They wrote the law, it has the consequence of disproportionately affecting voters of a certain race. Yet they pushed it up to the Supreme Court instead of fixing it. Even if it WAS in good faith, it isn’t anymore.

It always matters whether your opponents are operating in good faith. Sotomayor and Breyer seem to have let it go. Why?
