California Democrat Sen. Adam Schiff warned during an appearance Sunday on ABC's "This Week" that President Trump intends to "subvert" the midterm elections, perhaps by forcing through a bill mandating voter ID.
"He's basically telling us he intends to interfere in this upcoming election," Schiff said. "We cannot ignore what they're telling us they're going to do because time and time again we have seen that they’re willing to go to extraordinary and lawless lengths. The last, best hope for our democracy is not going to be the Congress or the court, it’s going to be the American people."
"Republicans have created distrust in the elections by making claims of non-existent fraud in the elections," Schiff said.
ABC's Jon Karl asked: "But in one recent Pew poll, 83 percent of adults support requiring photo I.D. to vote. 71 percent of Democrats favor requiring photo ID Is that something that you can support? And if not, why not?"
"It's still going to be something that disenfranchises people," Schiff said. "People who don't have the proper Real ID, driver's license, don't have the ID necessary to vote, even though they are citizens. This is another way to simply try to suppress the vote."
"The last thing I think we want to do is discourage more people, more citizens from voting while they are attacking those same elections, while they're trying to do away with absentee ballot voting, while they're trying to do away with being able to register to vote through the DMV or by the mail. So it's part of the broader disenfranchisement effort. And no, I don't think that's the right direction."

Another insane argument from the Party of Insanity.
Sure, Schitt.
Voter ID “disenfranchises” illegal aliens and their crooked democrat pals.
It bothers me, everyone spells his name with two “f’s” instead of two “t’s”. Where’s spell check when you need it
“Another insane argument from the Party of Insanity.”
This may or may not be insane, but it does border on the edge of slander. He should be sued.

Yet because I do not have a Real ID I cannot enter a federal building or get on an airplane.
Well said.
Why don’t you have a real ID? Are you too lazy to go up date your driver’s license or do you want to be pitied?
I wonder what the answer to this question would be:
“So, Adam, what type or types of people does voter ID dienfranchise? Can you name them?
Adam Schiff, protector of those too dumb to show ID.
Well, “People”, yes, but not legal voters.
Haven’t heard him lying in awhile.
Oy vey! Demonicrats keep projecting their new crimes upon President Trump. I hope voters are recognizing Demonicrat projections
If you don’t need ID to vote, then you don’t need ID for anything.
Seems to me you take voting pretty seriously. Might you believe a war or two have been fought for the right of “self determination and freedom”? Could you be thinking of the 1700”s and years forward? Me Too! Regards
one of my daughters does not drive, so she gets a state issued photo ID. Anyone can get that by proving you have a legal address. It’s possible homeless people may have trouble getting photo ID. But most of them do not vote anyways.
Communist Schiff still using the soviet/russian playbook: Accuse the opposition of what you yourself are doing.
I have no reason to fly and if I am ever called to federal jury duty they let you use a regular id.
