The GOP constantly runs ads saying the democrats are against proving who you are to vote. They're against all the BULLSHIT in this bill.

So make their OWN bill requiring what most States already require or accept; Real ID drivers license, State ID, Passport etc. Leave out all the suppressive shit
And then scream it from the mountaintops when Johnson wont allow a vote on it.
90% of voters support a legit voter ID requirement. Give them a Bill that fits what they're talking about.
STOP giving the GOP ad material.
