The Supreme Court on Thursday let New Hampshire bar voters from using student ID cards to prove their identity in the Nov. 3 midterms, pausing a federal judge's order that had allowed election officials to consider the cards as backup evidence. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson publicly dissented.

Attorney General Todd Blanche declined on Thursday to rule out the Justice Department getting involved in states' certification of the midterm results, pointing to a hypothetical "doomsday scenario," while saying it is not the department's intention to interfere with elections.
