How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

  • holding that even a “small injury” hindering a person’s ability to vote “is sufficient to confer standing”
  • holding that requiring someone to show a photo ID to vote is a sufficient injury
  • explaining that re- sources would be diverted “from ‘getting voters to the polls’ to helping them obtain acceptable photo identification” (alteration adopted)
  • finding that requirement to produce photo identification to vote was an injury sufficient to confer standing even though the right to vote was not “wholly denied”
  • holding, in both, that forcing an organization to divert resources to counteract official conduct constitutes a valid injury for standing purposes
  • noting that a state “‘indisputably has a compelling interest in preserving the integrity of its election process’” (quoting Purcell v. Gonzalez, 549 U.S. 1, 4 (2006))
