Dems are for voter ID and or voter identity verification and not targeted voter suppression, the latter which is thinly veiled AND the preferred modus operandi for Covid.

The right has stop the steal on their wee brains, a discredited meme which will soon be cited as the grounds for charging criminal activity by Trump and his minions in the '20 election.

Introduction

A total of 35 states have laws requesting or requiring voters to show some form of identification at the polls. Forthcoming changes include:

During the November 2022 midterm elections, Nebraska became the 36th state to require voter ID when voters approved a citizen initiative requiring photo ID. This page will be updated to reflect the new requirement once the law’s details are available.

The remaining 15 states and D.C. use other methods to verify the identity of voters. Most frequently, other identifying information provided at the polling place, such as a signature, is checked against information on file. See NCSL’s?Voter Verification Without ID Documents.

Proponents argue increasing identification requirements can prevent in-person voter impersonation and increase public confidence in the election process. Opponents say there is little fraud of this kind, and the burden on voters unduly restricts the right to vote and imposes unnecessary costs and administrative burdens on elections administrators.

All voters, regardless of the type of verification required by the states, are subject to perjury charges if they vote under false pretenses. See "State-by-State In-Effect Voter ID Requirements" (Table 2 below) for citations and details on which IDs are accepted and what happens when a voter does not have ID.
