That can't be possible.
President Joe Biden's reelection campaign has joined a lawsuit
seeking to halt a law in a battleground state that could disqualify
thousands of ballots in 2024.
Unclear. How would halting the law disqualify thousands of ballots?
Post by ScottWPolitico reported Friday that the Democratic National Committee (DNC)
is challenging a law New Hampshire's Republican-controlled
legislature passed last year that requires voters who registered to
vote on Election Day (which requires the signing of an affidavit
attesting that they are a resident of New Hampshire) to produce a
photo ID within seven days of registration, or else their votes would
be tossed out. Senate Bill 418 stipulates that in addition to
rejecting ballots, those voters' names would be referred to the New
Hampshire Attorney General's office for investigation.
Joe wants election day voter registration with no ID.
Doesn't follow. If the law is overturned, registration would require id.
Biden presumably is content with registration including same-day
registration requiring id in every other state. Referring would-be
voters for criminal investigations is objectionable on its face.
Politico is doing a bad job explaining the facts if this is your
conclusion. It's the Republican-passed law that creates a framework for
no-id voting registration, not Biden's opposition to it.
Here's the actual lawsuit:

You might have a different opinion about whether this violates equal
protection, ballot secrecy, or is a burden on voting or otherwise
suppressive, but the seven-day time frame followed by verification runs
afoul of the New Hampshire state constitution requirement vote totals be
reported within five days.
