On Tuesday evening, Donald Trump headed down to a campaign rally in Tampa, Florida.
And, for those of you waiting for Donald Trump to say something stupid during his rally as
he has every single time he's ever done a rally, you didn't have to wait too long, because,
not too far into his little presentation, Donald Trump said this.
We believe that only American citizens should vote in American elections, which is why the
time has come for voter ID, like everything else, voter ID.
And if you go out and you wanna buy groceries you need a picture on a card.
You need ID.
You go out and you wanna buy anything, you need ID and you need your picture.
In this country, the only time you don't need it, in many cases, is when you wanna vote
for a president, when you wanna vote for a senator, when you wanna vote for a governor
or a congressman, it's crazy.
It's crazy.
You're absolutely right, Donald, this is crazy, but not the fact that we're not requiring
people to have photo ID to go vote.
What's crazy, is what you're saying.
First and foremost, could you be any more out of touch with how America actually works?
How many decades has it been since you actually stepped foot in a grocery store?
That's what I'm wondering.
Because, no, you don't need a photo ID to go buy a loaf of bread or buy any kind of
groceries, unless it's alcohol or tobacco.
Other than that, you're pretty much good to go with a debit card or cash or check or whatever
you wanna pay with, without having to show a photo ID.
That is crazy.
That's just as out of touch as George H.W. Bush was when he went to a grocery store and
was amazed by the new kinds of scanners they had to scan bar codes.
The man had never seen that, even though they'd been out for years, because he was so wealthy
he never had to do his own shopping.
And now we know that Trump is the same way.
You don't have to show an ID to go buy groceries.
In fact, it's pretty easy to get along in the United States without an ID.
The only time I ever get carded is when I have to go fly, and the only reason I fly
is because my job requires it.
I'm not out there taking flights for fun, trust me.
Can't do that, wish I could but I can't.
So, yeah, twice a year, when I have to make these trips for conferences, I have to pull
out my ID.
The rest of the time that thing stays tucked away in my wallet, like most Americans, and
nobody sees it because nobody asks for it.
Requiring a photo ID to vote is a form of poll tax, because again, you can get along
perfectly fine in the United States of America without a photo ID.
Perhaps you live in a city where you don't have to have a car.
Perhaps you can't afford a car, so you don't need a photo ID.
Perhaps you're not going out and buying any kind of alcohol or tobacco.
You wouldn't need an ID for that, and of course, contrary to what you say, you don't need one
to go buy groceries.
What this does is it disproportionately affects poor, minority communities, where people do
not have photo IDs.
They may not have the means to go and get a photo ID, and even if they do, they may
not have the means to pay for that photo ID.
That's the problem with this.
That is what investigations into this have found.
They haven't found rampant evidence of any kind of voter fraud, but what they have found
is that these voter IDs disproportionately affect poor and minority US citizens.
So, you can ramble incoherently all you want about needing a photo ID to go buy quote "anything
in America today," but those of us who live in reality understand that you can get by
just fine without any form of photo ID here in the United States.
It is not a requirement but if you're going to make it a requirement to participate in
our democratic process, then you, Federal Government, have to provide photo IDs to every
citizen at no cost at all.
That's the tradeoff.
You cannot require somebody to spend their own money in order to be able to retain the
right to vote.
That is discrimination, no matter who it is against.
So, you wanna enact these regressive photo ID laws, then you better have the Federal
Government ready to pony up, go door to door and make goddamn sure that everybody in this
country has a photo ID.
