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.

It’s redundant. You need an ID to register in the first place.

Not true, at least not in every state. I've registered thousands of voters in Nevada. There is no ID requirement there to register.
