And it is absurd. if you live in an RV based out of a PO Box do you cease to be a resident? Check any of the states with an income tax and see if you are exempted if you live in an RV without a street address.
Well you can say you live anywhere and the state won't be any the wiser, if you really do live in an RV and don't ever have a utility bill or any official services at an address in their state. That's what lots of RVers do...they just pick a no-tax state as their residence and travel around where they please. Good idea actually if you have income you'd like to keep from being appropriated by some greedy state you aren't even a resident in.
You obviously didn't read the case, the suit was brought by native Americans. The requirement was to provide some sort of identification with a street address, it wasn't a voter ID other than some sort of proof of residence. Many living on a reservation don't have a street address and even if you agree this is close enough to the election to cause confusion.
Everyone living on the reservation has an identifiable residential location. Just like in many parts of Alaska. At one time my residential address on my voters ID and my drivers license simply said "12 Mile West Nome Beach" Nome, Alaska.

Does the voter Id law say that you cannot use a PO Box as an address?

Try it sometime in California. They require another stable address for a year before they will agree you have moved out of CA. Otherwise they presume you are coming back. And the only way to beat it is a stable street address for a year or go to court.
Well it sounds like residential address can be described in any way. I'd bet any tribe has a list of it's members living on their reservation and some way to identify where they are living. The ND gov site says:
If an individual’s valid form of identification does not include the North Dakota residential address or date of birth, or the North Dakota residential address is not current, the individual may supplement the identification with a current utility bill; a current bank statement; a check or a document issued by a federal, state, local, or tribal government (including those issued by BIA for a tribe located in North Dakota, any other tribal agency or entity, or any other document that sets forth the tribal member’s name, date of birth, and current North Dakota residential address); or a paycheck.

I think P.O. Box is best reserved for business addresess.
