BOISE, Idaho — A new prohibition on the use of student IDs to vote has already attracted two lawsuits, just two days after Gov. Brad Little signed the bill into law.
March for Our Lives Idaho, a gun safety advocacy group, on Friday filed a complaint in federal court against Idaho Secretary of State Phil McGrane over a law that bans using student IDs to vote. Babe Vote, a youth-led organization that helps register young people to vote, announced on Friday that it had also filed a lawsuit against the state over the bill, in state court.
In a complaint filed on Friday, March for Our Lives alleged that the law banning student IDs unconstitutionally discriminated against young people, who are likely to be students. A Boise High student, Rosaura Albizo Barron, was also a plaintiff on the lawsuit.
