GOP Trolls Democrat Opposition to Voter ID When Elected Officials Need IDs to Vote in the House
Trust is earned, not demanded.
The Democratic Party has vowed to vote against legislation moving through Congress that would require voters to provide identification before casting a ballot.
Democrat opposition to the legislation, called the SAVE America Act, has been met with mockery from Republicans who were quick to point out that members of the House need a photo ID to vote and that Democrats require attendees of their events to present identification when entering.
On Wednesday in the House, only one Democrat voted for Rep. Chip Roy’s, R-Texas, SAVE America Act while 213 Democrats voted against.
“Notable that 213 Democrats just used their congressional photo ID to vote NO on a voter ID bill,” Rep. Micheal Cloud, R-Texas, wrote on X.
In another post on X, Cloud showed exactly how members of Congress use their IDs to vote in the House.
For reference, this is how we vote in the US House:
1) Insert photo ID
2) Press button

On Friday, the Republican National Committee released a video from a Feb. 7 event featuring Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga. The video shows an attendee was asked multiple times by multiple event staffers to provide proper identification before entering the event.
In a statement shared with The Daily Signal, House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., described the Democrats double standard on identification as “incoherent.”
“Leader Scalise noted that Jon Ossoff, Senator Ossoff, had his big event there. And, you know, he said that the SAVE Act is ‘A bad faith bill cynically intended to disenfranchise millions of eligible voters,'” Johnson said.
“That’s what Senator Ossoff said. But of course, at the event where he said that he required photo ID to attend,” Johnson added. “Democrats want to verify your identity to attend their campaign rallies, but not to participate in the elections they’re running in.”
Ossoff did not respond to The Daily Signal’s request for comment.
