Chuck Schumer Claims Voter ID Laws Are The Return Of "Jim Crow"

Chuck Schumer criticized voter ID laws, comparing them to Jim Crow, a comparison the author deems absurd. The author claims Democrats oppose voter ID to facilitate illegal immigrant voting and voter fraud through mail-in ballots. The SAVE Act, which enforces ID requirements, faces strong Democratic opposition. The author asserts that Democrats rely on racially charged rhetoric to energize their base and shut down debate. Voter ID is common globally, but in the US, it's labeled racist by Democrats who claim it is a travesty. Republicans see the SAVE Act as crucial for election security, and its failure could demotivate MAGA voters. The author highlights that some Jim Crow voting restrictions, like literacy tests, could be reasonable today. The GOP is considering ending the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act, a controversial move that could determine future election integrity.
