Idaho lawmakers face backlash over voting and transgender bills.

Students in Idaho, represented by March for Our Lives, are suing the state to overturn a new law that removed student ID cards as an acceptable form of voter identification at polling places. The lawsuit alleges that the law violates the Twenty-Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution and discriminates against young people. Supporters of the law argue that it is an election integrity measure, but opponents claim it is a solution in search of a problem and an attempt to suppress the votes of young people. The League of Women Voters, Idaho and BABE vote have also filed a separate lawsuit to stop Idaho from enforcing the law.
