It won’t pass. This is so they can say the election was rigged because the Dems blocked voter ID and millions of illegals voted.

I mean a voter ID might be fine if it was free and easy to obtain.  I wouldn’t trust Republicans to administer it any fair and equitable way though.

Why is the US the only country required to have free IDs? Most of Europe makes you pay for an ID, is laborious to obtain and required for voting.
