John Regalado

How did you feel about the response you got?

Yeah, I'm actually curious.

You seem very intelligent, so I'm actually curious what you were hoping you might hear from him.

What do you think about the SAVE Act?

I think it might have just passed the House, but just requiring a form of identification or maybe a government-issued ID.

There's a lot of pushback from Democrats on that, but I think Fetterman supported it.

What do you think about something like that?

Yeah, I think that's a very good point and something I've been thinking about a lot.

Democrats, you know, they have to kind of and I get it just

It would maybe disenfranchise is not the right word, but it would affect a lot of people of color.

It would make it difficult for them to vote if they had to have a form of ID or a specific kind of ID present with them when they showed up to vote.

But just because that's true doesn't necessarily make it racist.

And things that you've kind of heard, arguments you've heard, I think maybe Chuck Schumer might have said this, something like it's Jim Crow 2.0.

You know, they kind of reach for the most inflammatory argument that these are racist ideas.

You know, voter ID laws are racist.

And you kind of see it sort of reinforces what you're saying, where it's like, oh man, like if we're painting the issue with that,

you know, that color of pen, everything, the stakes are raised so much higher.

And then it kind of prevents Democrats from

I don't know, gaining any favor with the other side, but by being like, yeah, this is true.

Let's figure out a way to do this, or let's figure out a way to make IDs more accessible so that just elections can be more secure in general.
