It’s Time To Put The Voter ID Discussion To Bed, But I’d Probably Need A Valid ID To Get Into The Debate

The discussion that has been circling around requiring a valid ID in order to vote has never been an actual debate, unless you are lost inside a Democrat’s head. Let’s face facts, the Democrats are hypocrites or fools on just about every subject, and most of the time, they are bot

Case in point is the Democrats’ argument that requiring a valid ID would restrict minorities from voting. First, if you believe that, you are a racist. Second, you are also a major hypocrite.

The Democrat fueled idea that minorities are so dimwitted that they can't get a valid ID shows blatant ignorance and bottom-dweller racism. Do they have a problem requiring an ID to enter Federal buildings? Of course not, they want to be protected. How about boarding a plane or renting a car? No problem there. How about buying alcohol or cigarettes if you look underage? Applying for a mortgage or a rental agreement? How about getting a marriage license or a passport? No problem? Cashing a check, or opening a bank account? Signing up for Social Security? Unemployment, Medicaid, or food stamps? These people that you pretend to care about don’t seem to have issues with IDs, th

Oh, and guess what? Have you heard of the Obama library? You know, the $850 million eyesore that still looks like an unfinished phallic symbol. Well, on its website, right there, big and bold, visitors are informed that if they want to get in, they'd better have a valid ID.

The policy states:

    “Must be able to provide proof of residency. Be prepared to show proof of residency at the Museum with a valid photo ID, Illinois driver’s license, state ID, or city-issued ID. Guardians must be able to provide proof of residency for accompanying children.”

Yep, if you show up with kids, you have to prove their residency, too.

However, requiring a photo ID to vote for our country's highest office is excessive for Democrats.

Ignorance, steeped in hypocrisy. It’s the Democrat way.

Aren’t elected officials voted into their positions to serve the people? So, where is this debate over requiring voter ID?

CNN reported data from analyst Harry Enten at Pew Research indicated that the American people have no issues with voter IDs.

Enten’s segment was motivated in response to singer/songwriter Nicki Minaj, who in February posted on X:

“What sensible forward-thinking, cutting-edge, leading nation is having a DEBATE on whether or not there should be VOTER ID?!?!!!! Like?!?!? They’re actually fighting NOT to have people present ID while voting for your leaders!!!!!”

Enten added, “The American people are with Nicki Minaj.”

He demonstrated to viewers that polling data from 2018 shows at least 75 percent approval for voter ID. After presenting an 83 percent approval rate for 2025, he analyzed how Democrats and Republicans perceived the issue.

“Normally, you might expect, ‘Hey, there’d be a big divide by party, with Republicans really for it and Democrats really against it.’ But not really.”

The screen displayed that 71 percent of Democrats and 95 percent of Republicans approved of voter ID.

He then presented statistics that definitively countered this argument, which is primarily embraced by leftist elites in the

Approval rates are similar across racial groups: 85 percent for whites, 82 percent for Latinos, and 72 percent for blacks.

Enten closed out his presentation with this truism:

“So, the bottom line is this: voter ID is not controversial in this country. A photo ID to vote is not controversial in this country. It is not controversial by party, and it is not controversial by race.”

Democratic politicians are creating a debate that excludes the American people. They are pursuing ideas that do not have public support, which is ruining the integrity of our elections.

There is no argument or debate. Democrats are playing a hide-and-seek power game, and it needs to stop. The Democrats will manipulate elections and hand-pick who will represent the country, and that will be the end of American culture as we know it.
