Senator John Fetterman is breaking ranks with Democratic leadership this week, openly backing voter identification laws. The Pennsylvania lawmaker insisted that showing an ID to vote is a reasonable expectation for Americans.
“As a Democrat, I do not believe that it’s unreasonable to show ID just to vote,” Fetterman said. “It’s not a radical idea for regular Americans to show your ID to vote, and those things are not Jim Crow or anything.”
Fetterman’s stance sharply contrasts with Senate leaders like Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries, who have long labeled voter ID requirements as a form of “voter suppression.” By publicly supporting identification at the ballot box, Fetterman is setting himself apart from the party establishment.
