Senate Dems kill simple voter ID amendment requiring photo ID to cast ballot

U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah

Senate Democrats on Thursday blocked a common-sense amendment that would have required voters to show a simple photo ID to cast a ballot.

Despite Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer’s recent “pinky-promise” that Democrats aren’t actually opposed to ID requirements, his party voted in lockstep to kill the measure, according to CBS News.

About a dozen Senate Democrats have insisted that they support voter ID.

Naturally, this afternoon every single one of them voted against voter ID.
