Most Americans support requiring photo ID to vote. Democrats in Congress reject it.

WASHINGTON — Republicans are aggressively touting a popular provision in their sweeping SAVE America Act to overhaul elections nationwide: requiring photo identification to vote.

While Republicans have focused on the popularity of the voter ID provision, Democrats note that the SAVE America Act would also require proof of citizenship — a passport or birth certificate — to register, a much higher burden of proof than photo ID. President Donald Trump has also called for it to be amended to include major new restrictions on mail-in voting and provisions against trans athletes and gender-affirming surgeries for minors.

On a press call on Saturday, Schumer pivoted to other provisions in the SAVE America Act when asked about the popular photo ID proposal, namely one that would empower the Department of Homeland Security to screen states’ voter rolls and flag suspected noncitizens for disqualification.

“This is not a voter ID bill,” the Democratic leader said. “This is about purging the voter rolls in a massive way, so you never even get the chance to show a voter ID when you showed up to vote because you’d be knocked off the rolls.”

1. Of course they oppose it over Republican dirty tricks

When Wisconsin passed a Photo Voter ID law, Republican Gov Scott Walker quietly close 3 DMV locations in intercity Milwaukee .

They can't win, so they always cheat.
