SCOTUS refused to vacate a stay entered by the 8th District Court. The reasoning by the 8th is sound:
".....North Dakota has no voter registration requirement, so a resident may appear at the polls on election day and cast a ballot without any previous expression of desire
to vote. Election officials at the polls are charged with determining whether a person who appears is qualified to vote.
Effective August 1, 2017, the North Dakota legislature provided that a qualified elector must provide a “valid form of identification” to the proper election official before receiving a ballot. N.D. Cent. Code Ann. § 16.1-01-04.1(1). A valid form of identification is a driver’s license or nondriver identification card issued by
the North Dakota department of transportation or “[a]n official form of identification issued by a tribal government” to a tribal member residing in North Dakota.
.....We previously denied the Secretary’s request for a stay in this very case because there was an election only a week away. And absentee voting for the November election begins in less than a week. To grant a stay now fails to properly weigh the unique “considerations specific to election cases” that apply when a party seeks to upset the status quo “just weeks before an election.”
