Stop calling it "Voter ID Laws" and call it "Republican ID Laws."

You're probably not going to believe me but most of the work can be done in a single sentence:


Call these proposals what they are: Republican-issued IDs.

Voter ID

Voter ID is a good thing. People want voter IDs because they don't want voter fraud. Voter IDs invoke other sorts of IDs like drivers licenses, social security cards, college IDs, etc. Identification grants appropriate access and prevents fraud.

Identification is required for flying on airplanes, for purchasing alcohol, for senior citizen and college discounts, etc.

Here's the rub. We already have voter ID. You need identification to vote. Identification is used to prevent voter fraud. Voter identification is needed to help make sure voting is fair. Even in states that don't require a photo ID at the polls, they typically verify your identification using the signature from your voter registration.

This is why there is no voter fraud.

Let me repeat: We. Already. Have. Voter ID. Voter ID is what we have.

70% of voters believe citizens should be required to prove their identify before voting. Voter identification can be a good thing if it goes along with expanding registration and creating more non-partisan elections.

I believe many people support some type of process to verify identification. What is it I'm against?
