Maggie Flaherty was so upset that she was too young to cast a ballot against Donald Trump in the 2016 presidential election that one of her first missions when she arrived as a freshman at Dartmouth College in New Hampshire the following year was to register to vote.
Then the California native learned about a new proposal from state Republicans that would subject college students who vote in the state to residency requirements such as getting in-state drivers licenses and vehicle registrations.
That costs money, said Flaherty, who along with a classmate and the American Civil Liberties Union sued the state after the law passed. And I dont think it should cost money to be able to vote.
The fight in New Hampshire is one of at least a dozen legal skirmishes being waged across the country, in the run-up to the 2020 election, that are financed by Democrats and liberal activists who hope to overturn or head off measures they fear could erode the electoral might of young voters an increasingly left-leaning voting bloc.
