ACLU sues NH over controversial voter ID law

December Rust has been unhoused for a year in Littleton, New Hampshire. He doesn’t have proof of citizenship and he has an outdated non-driver ID card indicating he previously lived in another town, Whitefield, according to court documents.

Rust, who calls Littleton home for now, has only been able to vote in New Hampshire because he’s been able to sign a legally binding document attesting to the fact that he meets the state’s criteria.

While Rust anticipates needing to move soon due to growing tensions in Littleton, where police are restricting camping for the unhoused, as reported by the Caledonian Record,he’ll need to register to vote in a new town. But, under New Hampshire’s new voter ID law, Rust probably won’t be able to cast a ballot.

Rust is one of five people named in a lawsuit the American Civil Liberties Union filed against the state on Monday, fighting against a new voter ID law Gov. Chris Sununu signed in September.
