(Reuters) - A New Hampshire judge on Monday put on hold a law requiring some voters to present proof of residency when they register, saying it would lengthen lines at polling places and make it difficult for students, disabled voters and others to cast ballots.
The temporary injunction against the Republican-backed law comes two weeks before U.S. Congressional elections that will determine whether opposition Democrats or U.S. President Donald Trump’s Republicans retain full control of the federal government’s legislative branch.
The measure, which passed largely along party lines and went into effect last year, required those seeking to register within 30 days of an election to present documents proving that they live in the area where they intend to vote. Without such proof, they must agree to either send it in within 10 days or the state will seek to verify their domicile.
The law does not require proof of address when voting.

Without judges the left and their insane polices would be on the ash heap of history
What does registering have to do with lines at polling places?
Students can easily show proof of residency in THEIR town - not their university.
Why the disabled can’t show proof of residency is beyond me (unless the judge is saying they’re not mentally competent which begs the question - why should they be allowed to vote?!)
Judicial politics! We don’t no rule of law...
Sad, yet same as it ever was.
Students???!!!!! They’re the worst offenders! They vote at home and at school.
this is BS. i have worked as an election judge since 2014. we have residency requirements that are spelled out and it takes very little time. show a utility bill or the like with the address and a date greater than 22 days and you are a resident of the state. takes a minute at best unless there are extreme issues.
judge obviously is ignorant of voting requirements OR is a pro illegal voting traitor bastard.
Just a guess, but you can register and vote at the same table. Even better than "same day registration" is "same instant registration." Sign your voter registration and put your 'X' by all the Ds.
Now, short lines are a constitutional right. WTF.
Democrat Governor John Lynch appointee 2007
states requite people to have TWO proof’s of residency when they apply for the new ‘enhanced licenses’ (which apparently will be needed in order to fly in the US in the near future)
He is full of crap
The judge is dishonest and unfit for the bench.
A traitorous judge gives aid and comfort to the enemy.
And the Massholes had a collective sigh of relief.
How does showing proof of residency keep you from voting...unless you can’t show residency.
Here is my ID. See, I live here. Okay, go vote.
Most truly disabled whom I know have established proof of residency beyond doubt because they are signed up for every special aid program that they can get their hands on. They probably know more about navigating the bureaucracy than your average everyday able bodied schlub.
Same day registration?
Massive invitation to fraud, all set in motion by the Dems.
Another so called “judge” engaging in voter fraud.
