A Federal Photo ID Act

9. No, I'm not in favor of any requirements for voting.

Look closer at what you're advocating. The whole premise behind these Republican engineered voter-identification laws voter ID laws is to prevent large demographic groups who traditionally vote for Democrats from casting their ballots. Despite their own admissions that voter suppression is their goal, Republicans are still trying to cover up their motives by claiming that official voter IDs are to prevent voter fraud, despite the fact that voter fraud is almost nonexistent.

Whether it's at a local, state or national level, Republicans won't stop passing voter suppression laws to block Democratic leaning voters, but Democrats should not be promoting their agenda and helping them reach their goal. Look at what's happening right now in Alabama, a state that requires an official photo ID to vote. This week they announced that the state would stop issuing driver’s licenses in 10 predominantly black counties where 75 percent of registered voters are black.
