10. I support voter ID requirements, as do most Democrats.

The issue is the type of voter ID required.

We Democrats are in favor of the types of ID that were sufficient for decades and resulted in no level of voter fraud even worth discussing.

Republicans want to enforce ever-increasing levels of voter ID, not to prevent already essentially non-existent voter fraud, but because they want to make it more difficult to vote because they know they are getting VOTED THE FUCK OUT the next chance we, the voters, get to vote.
