It's just silly that Democrats are still bitching about requiring ID to vote.
You need an ID to operate, buy, or rent a car.
You need ID to open a bank account.
You often need ID just to buy booze or tobacco.
You need ID to rent a hotel room.
You need ID to apply for welfare or food stamps.
You need ID to apply for a job.
You even need ID to adopt a pet.
But it's racist to suggest that ID should be required to vote!
Another great example of Democrat logic.
If they are worried about people not being able to afford the ID....give it to them free of cost. Keep the requirements for evidence of who you are and your citizenship evidence as a requirement to get that free ID too.
Good point! A FREE state I.D. would remove the "cost" objection from those in the pro-cheating crowd of Democrats.

In about every state in the Union if you are on public assistance then a state ID card is free.
Although most people with an EBT card have a driver's license...
Which is also an ID card.
Although it doesn't require proof of citizenship in a lot of cases.
Therein lies the problem...
strength of American democracy.
This report focuses on the eight swing states identified by Sabato’s Crystal Ball at the University of Virginia Center for Politics: Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. In five of these states, the outcome of the 2020 presidential election was determined by less than two percentage
points, with some of those states seeing even closer margins – Arizona and Georgia were each determined by less than half a percentage point. Changes to how elections are run can have a profound impact when margins are so razor thin.
In North Carolina, voters must adapt to the state moving from having no
ID requirement to the one of strictest mail ballot ID laws in the country
– and a new photo ID requirement for in-person voting as well. Pending
legislation may make it far more likely that mail ballots cast by eligible
voters will be discarded.
● With the lapse of pandemic-era expansions to mail voting and in-person
early voting, New Hampshire is now one of only three states in the
country where the only option for most voters will be to cast a ballot in
person on Election Day in the 2024 presidential election. In addition, new
rules will likely result in the rejection of ballots cast by eligible voters who
register to vote on Election Day.
● Georgia voters must overcome new restrictions on mail voting, including
ID requirements to apply for, and return, mail ballots. Voters will also
encounter new limits on drop boxes.
● Wisconsin voters may face significant new barriers to returning mail
ballots this election – though pending litigation could change the rules
before the 2024 election.
While some states have passed new laws to restrict voting access and weakennonpartisan election administration since 2020, three key swing states have expanded
access:
● Michigan voters will have greater ballot access in 2024 than in any
previous election, including expanded opportunities to vote early inperson and by mail. A new law also gives local election administrators
more time to process mail ballots and ensures that canvass boards
certify election results based on official records of votes cast.
● Nevada lawmakers made permanent the expanded mail voting access
rules put in place during the 2020 election, meaning every registered
voter will receive a ballot in the mail in the 2024 election. New laws also
improve voting access for Indigenous communities and citizens who are
currently incarcerated.
● The 2023 elections will be the first since Pennsylvania implemented
automatic voter registration – meaning voters will be automatically
registered to vote when they obtain, or renew, a driver’s license or ID
card. Notably, however, it may be more challenging for Pennsylvania
voters to cast their ballot by mail, due to the expiration of pandemic-era
expansions.
Michigan’s process of handling election recounts and fraud allegations has changed, with Gov. Gretchen Whitmer signing two controversial bills into law Monday.
Senate bills 603 and 604 modify the requirements for conducting ballot recounts and prosecuting election-related crimes.
“Today, with the signing of our common-sense recount law reforms, we are strengthening our democracy and ensuring that we reach the most accurate count of the ballots possible during a recount process,” said sponsor state Sen. Stephanie Chang, D-Detroit.

Yeah , but it is a Good Talking Point to Voters Right before an Election . If It dosen't Pass in the Senate because the Dems Vote NO , or they go for the Visual that they Really Care about the Voter ID Law and Vote Yes knowing Biden Already mentioned he would Veto it so it Makes Joe Look Bad and Not them .
So Repiblicans get elected and hold all the power; do you really think they'll address this issue again when it has a chance of passing?

Going by past history I'd have to say no. When they have total control to change the status quo they ignore the most critical issues we face and continue to kick the can down the road.
They could have passed legislation to solve border control once and for all but were too busy blocking everything Trump tried to do.
