Requiring photo IDs to vote used to be bipartisan, now Democrats call it ‘Jim Crow’

Top Democrats are describing voter identification requirements as as return to “Jim Crow” discrimination. But it wasn’t that long ago when voter photo IDs enjoyed a bipartisan embrace and Congress’ main investigative arm concluded the vestee majority of registered voters already had the necessary identification.

“Depending upon the study, estimated ownership rates among registered voters ranged from 84 to 95 percent,” a 2012 Government Accountability Office report concluded, adding that white and black Americans have roughly similar access to photo IDs to use for voting.

The photo ID debate is back in full bloom as Congress and some battleground states appear on a collision course.

  1. It would expose the great steal for what it was in the next election a pipe dream by race baiting old geezers that need to be culled from power as soon as humanly possible.

  2. So when you get carded to buy booze, smokes, cough medicine….is that racist? How dumb can people be? You need an ID or license to do just about everything. Drive, marriage, hunt, fish…how can anyone be against having to prove your ID to vote…1 person 1 vote. This isn’t that hard.

  3. Just Google countries in the world that require ID to vote, it is amazing that almost every nation requires it. America claims to be the beacon of freedom and democracy yet allows corrupt elections!
