CuelleLong time Democrat strategist James Carville advised his fellow Party members to "stop fighting photo ID requirements for voting. It's a losing issue. Eighty-five percent of voters support showing a photo ID to vote. Seventy-six percent of Black voters support showing a photo ID to vote. Our Party opposing these huge majorities in favor of a photo ID makes it look like we need cheating to win elections."
Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Tex) agreed with Carville, saying "folks are used to showing IDs to board airlines, enter government buildings, and buy alcohol, among other things. They see it as a reasonable requirement and a trivial extra effort to promote public safety. Our Party's strident opposition to requiring a photo ID to vote spreads suspicion that our Party needs to cheat to win elections."
Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich) disagreed with Carville, saying "requiring voters to show ID would make it harder for Democrats to win elections. In the 2024 presidential election, Trump won in all but two states that require a photo ID to vote. Kamala won in all the states that do not require a photo ID to vote. It seems clear to me that passing the SAVE Act will hurt our Party's chances in future elections. I love James, but he is wrong on this issue. Democrats need a system where every human being who wants to vote be given as many ballots as he wants."
In California, a voter initiative to require photo ID to be allowed to vote is on November's ballot. The Democrat nominee for governor Xavier Becerra called this initiative that was put on the ballot by gathering signatures, "Trump's effort to rig California's elections by preventing millions of the state's residents from having a voice in who will rule over them for the next four years. I will fight with all of my might to defeat this ballot initiative. If it passes and I'm elected governor, as all the polls predict I will, I'll veto it on day one of my term in office."

Unless you plan on cheating there really isn’t any reason to be against photo ID seeing as it’s widely popular across the board
Since people could get a photo ID with the appropriate documents, presenting sufficient documents (or information from such documents if voting by mail) should also be sufficient.

States could allow supervisors of elections to verify birth information online.

Maybe Carville can explain this to Thune, Rove and GWB.
None of them seem to be listening to Americans.

...but voter I.D. will lead to the abolition of election fraud which will lead to the abolition of the Democrat Party.

LOL Carville and the regular Dem criminals are worried ballot stuffing in big cities will kick them out and replace them with DSA Communists.
“...but voter I.D. will lead to the abolition of election fraud which will lead to the abolition of the Democrat Party.”
“Free” stuff!
“Free” stuff!
Vote for the Galvin “Satan Claws” Newsom!
Vote for “Dr. Amy Acton” if you like sex more than babies!
“Carville and the regular Dem”
are worried that DSA candidates will outbid them for votes.
The regular Democrats still count the ballots, sometimes twice, sometimes not at all.
These came in on mm/dd, probably mainly Republican. Yup!
These came in on MM/DD, probably mainly Democratic. Yup!
Yikes!
Pigs do fly...
If you want “free” stuff, raise your hands.
If you would rather have honest elections, raise your hands.
And the winner is obvious!
so they have a way around it ?
Umm, carville must have found another way to steal elections.
Carville is only saying this because he knows it won’t get passed.
