Supreme Irony: Dems Use Congressional ID to Vote Against Voter ID

Did you know that in order to cast votes in Congress, representatives have to insert their photo IDs into their desks to verify their identities before pressing the button for "yea" or "nay"? That means all the Democrats who voted against voter ID requirements for U.S. elections did so just after cheerfully accepting ID requirements for congressional voting.

The list of activities for which Democrats have no problem requiring IDs is endless. IDs are necessary when you go to a doctor's office, when you open a bank account, when you rent or buy a home, when you get stopped for speeding by a policeman, when you obtain loans, when you check in at airports, when you rent a car, when you buy alcohol, etc.

In fact, Democrats were gung-ho about imposing vaccine passport rules during the COVID-19 pandemic. They were enthusiastically supportive of making American citizens provide proof of unnecessary and experimental vaccination to attend social and political events, to travel, and much more. Back in 2021, Democrats virtue-signaled about treating unvaccinated Americans as second-class citizens and forcing many military and government employees to get the vaccine or be sacked.

And that, of course, was not constitutional. We were just supposed to comply because corrupt bureaucrats said so. But when it comes to legally securing our elections, suddenly Democrats are squeamish about IDs.

Another example is how dictatorial Democrats are about gun rights. If they had their way, you couldn't buy a gun without not only an ID but an extensive review of your social media history.

This all comes down to the blindingly obvious reality that most of us know already: namely, that Democrats do not oppose the election integrity SAVE America Act because they think it is inherently too difficult for minorities and married women to obtain IDs. Indeed, Democrats want as many people — especially minorities — on welfare as possible, and you must use IDs to apply for welfare benefits. This is strictly about Democrats rejecting election integrity.

I mentioned recently that while Democrat Party election fraud goes back at least to the 19th century, the corrupt groups and individuals whose proteges founded the Democrat Party were rigging elections, bribing politicians and businessmen, and lying about their opponents as far back as the late 1700s and the launch of Tammany Hall politics (see Daniel Greenfield's "Domestic Enemies"). Aaron Burr, Andrew Jackson, Jefferson Davis, and Andrew Johnson professed multiple "progressive" beliefs that were completely contradicted by the actions of their personal lives, and the Democrats in the 21st century are doing the same.

What Democrats' behavior in using their congressional IDs to vote against voter ID for elections tells us is that they want to ensure election fraud can happen. Their policies are not appealing, and whenever they are in power, they wreak havoc on the nation. Therefore, one of their plans for seizing power inthe  future is through illegal votes. And no other conclusion can possibly come from their opposition to the SAVE Act.
