The bill, 98, 99% of it, is about suppressing voters, about taking them off the voter rolls unbeknownst to them, so they cannot vote. The bottom line is very simple. 99% of this bill has nothing to do with voter ID. What a voter does when they arrive at the polling place to vote. The vast majority of this bill, the overwhelming bulk, is about suppressing people on the voter rolls, taking them off, not even knowing about it. (02:59–03:04)
