Federal judge signs settlement in North Dakota voter ID lawsuits Thursday, April 30, 2020

A federal judge has approved an agreement between North Dakota and American Indian tribes settling a dispute over the state’s voter identification requirements that at one point reached the U.S. Supreme Court.
The agreement settles two lawsuits -- one filed by members of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa in 2016 and another filed two years later by the Spirit Lake Nation and later joined by the Standing Rock Sioux.
