The 2016 presidential election will be the first for Virginia’s voter ID law, which requires that voters show a photo ID at their polling location.

It’s one of 14 states with new restrictions in place for this year’s White House match-up. Three other states would join the list—Georgia, North Carolina, and North Dakota—but recent court decisions blocked the laws’ implementation, according to a Brennan Center report that examines the states with restrictive election laws since 2000.

The Virginia law was passed in 2013 by Republicans, ostensibly to protect from voting fraud.

Democrats in the state argue that the law discriminates against the poor, minorities, and students, particularly people who don’t already have photo IDs. The idea, they say, is to prevent likely Democratic voters from casting a ballot.

Some Republicans have helped the Democratic case. A revealing interview on The Daily Show with a Republican official in North Carolina about a similar law in that state said it would “kick Democrats in the butts.” (He quickly became a former GOP official.)

Indeed, a federal court this July found that North Carolina’s law was designed to “target African Americans with almost surgical precision,” based on data the lawmakers requested to figure out voting patterns of black North Carolinians.

While the Virginia legislation was the subject of a lawsuit from state Dems, a federal judge upheld the law in May. Now, given July’s North Carolina ruling, Virginia’s law is in appeals court, and defenders of the law tried to differentiate it from the one in the Tar Heel State.

The Brennan Center’s report notes that, of 11 states with the highest African American turnout in 2008, six, Virginia included, have new voting laws in place. And of 12 states with the largest Hispanic population growth between 2000 and 2010, seven have implemented such laws—including Old Dominion.

The voter ID law hasn’t been the only change this presidential election for residents in Virginia. In April of this year, Governor Terry McAuliffe signed an order to restore voting rights to felons, affecting about 200,000 people.

Following a challenge from state Republicans, the Virginia Supreme Court ruled 4-3 that the blanket order was unconstitutional.

So, McAuliffe instead is restoring felons’ voting rights on an individual basis, which he says addresses the court’s ruling. As of late August, he announced he had restored 13,000, with plans for the full 200,000 restored.

The presidential race in formerly purple Virginia looks uncompetitive—recent polls show Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton with a sizable lead—and there’s no one running for Senate this year. However, there are some tight Congressional races, including Republican Barbara Comstock in Virginia’s 10th District, which analysts have moved to a “toss-up,” according to The Washington Post.

Virginia voter registration initially ended on October 17, and the state does not have same-day registration. A federal judge extended the deadline to 11:59 p.m. on October 21 after the state’s election website experienced technical issues.

Early voting in the state is underway, and 74,461 people voted early as of October 13, according to the Virginia Public Access Project. That’s up 22.85 percent from 2012.

In Northern Virginia, the spike in 2016 early voting is even higher—up 55.6 percent from 2012.

Updated to reflect that a federal judge ordered Virginia to extend its voter registration through Friday, October 21 at 11:59 p.m. following technical issues on the state’s election website.
