Raphael Warnock: “I believe that you should have to prove that you are who you say you are before you vote. But this is not a voter ID…”

“I believe that you should have to prove that you are who you say you are before you vote. But this is not a voter ID bill; this is a voter suppression bill. They really ought to call it what it actually is. They ought to rename this bill: 'Your Driver's License is Not Enough to Register Bill.' Not only is your driver's license not good enough in most States, except those States where your citizenship is a part of your driver identification--and that is literally a handful of States--you will not be able to register to vote using your driver's license. You will not be able to register to vote using your student ID. You will not be able to register to vote using your military ID. Let's be very clear: The Republicans know that their policies are failing; that they have kicked 15 million Americans off of their healthcare; that they have doubled healthcare premiums for some 22 million Americans. They have dragged us or they have enabled this President to drag us into a war--and he can't even explain why we are there--and they want to make it difficult for everyday Americans to hold them accountable. This will not stand. It will not succeed.”
