Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) doubled down on his opposition to voter ID requirements Sunday, claiming that requiring photo identification will "disenfranchise" voters – despite overwhelming public support for the measure, including among his own Democratic base.
The California Democrat is leading the charge against the Republican-backed Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which sailed through the House last year and requires proof of citizenship to register for federal elections. It's exactly the kind of common-sense election integrity measure that Patriots have been demanding for years.
But here's the kicker: Schiff is fighting against something that most Americans – including Democrats – actually want. Multiple polls have consistently shown that requiring photo ID to vote enjoys broad bipartisan support, with approval ratings often exceeding 70% among all voters.
Out of Touch With Reality
Schiff's opposition puts him squarely at odds with everyday Americans who understand a simple truth: if you need an ID to buy alcohol, board a plane, or enter a federal building, requiring one to vote isn't "voter suppression" – it's common sense.
The Senator's claims about "disenfranchisement" ring hollow when you consider that obtaining a photo ID is a basic requirement for participating in modern society. What exactly is Schiff afraid of? Could it be that Democrats benefit from a system where citizenship verification isn't required?
"Requiring proof of citizenship to vote should be the most basic requirement in any democracy. The fact that Democrats oppose this tells you everything you need to know about their true intentions."
With President Trump back in the White House and Republicans controlling Congress, the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act has a real shot at becoming law. The Trump administration has made election integrity a cornerstone of their agenda, and they're not backing down despite Democrat obstruction.
The question Patriots need to ask is this: if voter ID is so popular that even Democratic voters support it, why are their elected officials fighting it so hard? What are they really trying to protect?
