SOME Democrat PLEASE put forth a LEGIT Voter ID bill. [View all]

Take this issue away from the MAGA crowd. THEIR Bill is NOT for "voter ID" & we all know it.
Yes, a REAL bill could be put forth by Democrats; make the GOP block the bill from a vote or vote against it. EVERYONE likely already HAS a valid voting ID & if they dont they need to GET one. We drive people to the polls to vote, let's drive them to the election office to get a voter ID or a State ID. You generally have to have an ID to go to the doctor, the bank, to get some prescription meds, etc. I'm tired of hearing the "we dont need a law" complaints . They are going to HAMMER us with ads saying "democrats dont support allowing only citizens vote" because we are against their bullshit anti-voter bill. This IS a big deal to most voters just like the border was a big deal.
We cannot afford to let them have the issue.
DO IT.
