Thune: Democrats Will Have to Show Americans Why They Oppose Voter ID

Published | Video Starts at 04:45

And the American people agree. Poll after poll shows that Americans of both parties strongly support requiring a photo ID at the polls. And just to reassure my Democrat Friends, A 2019 study published by the National Bureau of Economic Research found, and I quote, strict ID laws have no significant negative effect on registration or turnout overall or for any subgroup defined by age, gender, race or party Affiliation. End quote. Mr. President, Democrats are going to have another chance tomorrow to support election integrity by implementing a common sense photo ID requirement. (04:45–05:11)
