Jodey C. Arrington Republican
“I want people to show a photo ID to vote. Most Americans support this. It will make people trust our election results.”
“Mr. Chair, we gave the Democrats, our friends on the other side of the aisle, opportunity after opportunity multiple times to support what 83 percent of the American people support, which is photo identification to vote in elections in this country. You need an ID to check in at a hotel and to fly on an airplane--in Mamdani’s New York, you need it to shovel snow--but it is not important enough for the cornerstone of this democratic Republic. The American people aren’t fooled. We are not fooled. We are going to do this so that we can continue with this great country of ours and with the confidence of the American people in the outcome of the elections. Mr. Chair, I reserve the balance of my time.”
