Federal judge says New Hampshire must make it easier to prove citizenship when registering to vote

A federal judge ruled that New Hampshire's 2024 voter registration law, which removed the option of using a sworn affidavit to prove U.S. citizenship, is unconstitutional. The decision supports the American Civil Liberties Union of New Hampshire and other plaintiffs who argued the law burdened voters, while the state's attorney general plans to appeal, calling the requirements a 'common-sense approach to election integrity.'
