Bunch of crap!! Show up, show an ID and vote.

[FirstLast.....]

No ID, no EBT. End of debate. No ID, no vote.

[winddmmy]

you do know the constitution gives the state legislatures sole right to set voting laws for their states right?

[nickbierman]

The federal government does not have the right or power to determin how states run their elections.

[timothyluke]

Right. "False claims".
Eff the media

[williamhilton]

Can only imagine the threats they're leveling against him.

[laurenpegues]

I've just quit the democratic 🥳 party...

[mscottmiracle]

Not biased against Republicans at all, are you?

[deborahholte]

I am pretty sure that soon enough a lot of people will regret not Investing in Crypto

[thomasstephens]

The news media ( MSM) needs to be fined every time they lie. We would solve the national debt! Lol 😆

[tonytackett]

It's unconstitutional..bottom line..Washington doesn't get to control how the states do the election. Why don't u people start talking about what else is in the bill and why nobody will vote for it

[Ariaga_II]

It’s quite odd, there’s no mention that this bill will also pave the way to make DC a state with full representation in Congress which opposes the initial intent of making DC the capital. Also, no mention that portions of this bill go against the 10th amendment. You gotta love them not even touching the big controversy items and just making it seem like it’s only about voter ID’s. What a joke.

[laurenpegues]

SO WHAT NOW, ARE WE GONNA "DO" ANYTHING ABOUT DEMOCRACY...SINCE THIS WAS JUST A TEST...omg Voted you all to do what????

[rodgerwoods]

No one is suppressing anyone's voting rights here. Having a ID to vote shouldn't be a problem at all. You need a ID for other things in life. If the military or the elderly need a mail in ballot, request it ahead of time like they've done for many years. (With the exception of last year) If you're going to the voting poll, take some water and snacks. The goal here is one person, one vote. When the votes get counted, it needs to be open to all observers. None of this 20 feet away like last year. Having a secure voting process should be a concern to everyone. If the government won't enforce it, than the states need to step in and do their part. Beyond that, may the best idiot win.

[pkghalm]

These people love wasting time. We should defund congress!

[jordandontworryaboutit]

If I can’t buy a beer without ID….you shouldn’t be able to vote without one

[MrErpman]

They will just ignore whatever rule or law impedes what they want to do.

[irwinfletcher]

If half the country voted for Trump in suspected that something was wrong with the voting in democrat said there’s nothing to see why didn’t allow full audit???

[thomasstephens]

Joe Manchin needs to be voted out and bring in a conservative.

[tammylee]

I'm beginning to think Manchin maybe in repubs pocket book
