NH voter ID modification passes

New Hampshire’s legislature approves (and the Governor is expected to sign) a modification to last year’s voter ID law.  Per this article:

The voter ID law enacted in 2012 included several changes that were to effect this September, including a shorter list of acceptable forms of ID and a requirement that voters without an ID, who already must fill out an affidavit, be photographed by election workers as well.

But under a compromise worked out last week by negotiators from the House and Senate, student IDs will remain valid forms of identification at the polls, voters 65 and over will be able to use expired driver’s licenses to vote and the photo-taking requirement will be delayed until 2015.

As I keep saying every time a question arises, ID laws are not all the same.  The details matter.
