The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that New Hampshire college students cannot use their student IDs to prove their identity when voting in the midterms next month.

The high court, in an unsigned order, pointed to previous rulings that emphasized how lower federal courts should not alter election rules so close to an election, and noted that the lower court in the New Hampshire case "did not point to anything that would justify deviating from that principle." 

Liberal Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the only dissenter.

"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 order comes after a state law in April removed student IDs from its list of forms of identification that election officials would accept when someone requests a ballot, according to NBC News.

A coalition that challenged the state law argued that it discriminated against young voters.
