Don't impose an unconstitutional federal voting requirement.

You don't have to have one to get controlled medicine. I have received plenty of controlled medication in my life, and aside from the cough medicine which is an ingredient in meth, I've never had to show an ID. Again - this is a state matter, not a federal one. Stop trying to federalize everything.

Not everyone banks or flies - again - discrimination against impoverished individuals, older individuals.

Instead of bemoaning the fact that Democrats are not supporting an unconstitutional measure designed to solve a problem that does not exist, if you are concerned about Democrats voting no, work on messaging about why this measure is unconstitutional, designed to fix a problem that doesn't exist, and is discriminatory.

It is beyond ridiculous that every time this comes up I spend far more time educating Democrats about the discriminatory nature of requiring Voter IDs than I do working against the requirement itself. It should be a given that Democrats oppose federalization of voting and discriminatory identification practices.
