New Mexico: federal court voids Albuquerque voter I.D. ordinance

AP reports: A federal judge has ruled that the city of Albuquerque's voter ID ordinance is unconstitutional.

U.S. District Judge Christina Armijo's ruling this week stems from a lawsuit filed in 2005 by the ALCU on behalf of the League of Woman Voters and other plaintiffs.

They argued that the ordinance violated the 14th Amendment and infringed upon their right to free expression under the First Amendment.

In an 83-page order issued Monday, the judge rejected their argument regarding freedom of expression. -- KRQE News 13 - Judge strikes city's voter ID ordinance
