美国最高法院大法官凯坦吉·布朗·杰克逊周四的裁决中是唯一公开持异议的法官，该裁决允许新罕布什尔州阻止在即将到来的中期选举中使用学生证。
法院的其他大法官援引了长期以来的先例，即“下级联邦法院通常不应在选举前夕改变选举规则”，并表示下级法院并未辩称新罕布什尔州的这起特殊案件有理由打破这一惯例。但杰克逊认为，选举临近不应阻碍法律的正确适用。
她写道：“我谨此异议，因为——即使选举即将到来，或许尤其是在选举即将到来之际——我不会推翻一份为确保公众获得关于州选举程序的准确信息而下达的、完全合理的联邦法院命令。”

这起争议源于4月签署并于6月生效的一项法律，该法律将学生证从选举官员在个人要求投票时可接受的身份证明形式清单中删除。一个投票权组织起诉新罕布什尔州，称该法律非法歧视年轻选民，使他们投票变得更加困难。
随后，新罕布什尔州国务卿戴维·斯坎兰发布指导意见，称学生证不能用于确认选民身份，即使是作为该州替代验证程序下的支持证据也不行。一名地区法官阻止了指导意见的这一部分，认为它超出了法律本身的范围，法律仅将学生证从明确可接受的身份证明形式清单中移除。
共和党全国委员会是该指导意见的支持者之一。

虽然杰克逊是唯一的公开异议者，但其他大法官也有可能提出了异议，但选择不在法院命令中署名。在杰克逊任职最高法院的约四年里，她在竞选资金、移民和国会选区划分诉讼等领域与其他同事意见不合。
2023年，她在一项8比1的裁决中是唯一的异议者，该裁决允许一家混凝土公司起诉罢工的工会工人。在2026年5月涉及联邦囚犯寻求通过 compassionate release挑战自己定罪的裁决中，她也独自持不同意见。

新罕布什尔州在选举日举行了几场势均力敌的竞选，这让法院的裁决具有了一定分量。福克斯新闻的实力排名将该州的参议院竞选评为倾向民主党，这意味着自由派在一场可能决定国会控制权的竞选中略有优势。与此同时，该州的州长竞选被评为可能落入共和党手中。
大学生通常倾向民主党，但目前还不清楚有多少选民会受到法院裁决的影响，因为此前依赖学生证的学生现在需要另一种可接受的身份证明。

不过，一些民主党人认为允许选民使用学生证是件好事。例如，德克萨斯州民主党参议院候选人詹姆斯·塔拉里科就在其所在州推动了类似的举措。
Jackson again publicly breaks with Supreme Court as justices side with GOP in last-minute voter ID fight

The ruling allows the state to enforce a law striking student ID cards from accepted ballot identification before midterms

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the lone public dissenter in a Thursday decision allowing New Hampshire to block the use of student ID cards in the upcoming midterm elections.
Other justices on the court cited the longstanding precedent “that lower federal courts should ordinarily not alter the election rules on the eve of an election,” and said that lower courts failed to argue that the specific case in New Hampshire warranted an exception to the tradition. Jackson, however, argued the proximity to an election should not get in the way of properly applying the law.
“I respectfully dissent because — even, and perhaps especially, when an election is looming — I would not disturb a clearly justifiable federal-court order issued to ensure that the public receives accurate information about a State’s electoral processes,” she wrote.

The underlying dispute stems from a law signed in April that went into effect in June, striking student ID cards from the list of forms of identification that election officials can accept when an individual requests a ballot. A voting rights group sued New Hampshire on the grounds that the law illegally discriminated against young voters by making it more difficult for them to vote.
New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan then issued guidance saying that student IDs could not be used to establish voter identity, even as supporting evidence under the state’s alternative verification procedures. A district judge blocked that portion of the guidance, arguing that it went beyond the scope of the law itself, which only removed student IDs from the list of expressly accepted forms of identification.
Among the supporters of the guidance was the Republican National Committee.

While Jackson was the lone public dissenter, it is possible that other justices dissented as well, but opted not to be named on the court order. During her roughly four years on the Supreme Court, Jackson has broken from the rest of her colleagues in areas such as campaign finance, immigration and congressional map litigation.
In 2023, she was the lone dissenter in an 8-1 ruling allowing a concrete company to sue striking union workers. She also stood alone in a May 2026 decision involving federal prisoners seeking to challenge their convictions through compassionate release.

New Hampshire is holding a handful of close races on Election Day, putting some weight behind the court’s decision. Fox News’ power rankings rate the state’s Senate race as leans Democratic, meaning that liberals have a slight advantage in a race that could decide control of Congress. The state’s governor’s race, meanwhile, is rated as likely going to the GOP.
College students typically favor the Democratic Party, though it is unclear how many voters will be affected by the court ruling, as students who previously relied on their student IDs will now need another accepted form of identification.

Some Democrats, however, believe allowing voters to use student IDs would be a good thing. Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico, for instance, has pushed for such a thing in his state.
