CONCORD — A Strafford County Superior Court judge has lifted part of his ruling that put the state’s contentious new voter registration law before the New Hampshire Supreme Court.

A majority of Judge John Lewis’ earlier ruling remained in effect after his ruling Friday, leaving the future of the law to be decided by the Supreme Court with less than a month to go before the Nov. 6 general election.

Lewis heard arguments Thursday on the state’s emergency motion to reconsider his orders issued Sept. 24. Among them was a mandate that Secretary of State William Gardner post on the state elections website a specification that out-of-state college students wishing to vote here do not have to register their cars in the state or obtain a New Hampshire driver’s license.

In his brief ruling issued Friday, Lewis agreed that requiring the statement to be posted online went beyond what the court was lawfully able to order in the preliminary injunction.

Lewis on Friday stood by his other orders that are being challenged by Gardner, Attorney General Michael Delaney and New Hampshire House Speaker Bill O’Brien, who has asked to intervene because he disagrees with Delaney’s interpretation and argument for the law both are trying to get upheld.
