J. B. Van Hollen, the state’s attorney general, is giving up on finding a way to get a voter photo identification law in place for the Nov. 4 election. Mr. Van Hollen said on Oct. 9 that he was looking at alternatives to have the voter ID requirement in place despite a Supreme Court order blocking the law. But his spokeswoman said Monday that after studying the issue, he was no longer trying to put the law into effect. It was unclear what Mr. Van Hollen could have done after the Supreme Court stopped enforcement of the law.
