Sure.
So, you know, I'm only going to speak for myself here.
Like, I litigate a lot of voting cases.
I don't litigate that many ID cases.
I litigate ID cases only when what they are trying to do is really pick and choose in a way to shape the electorate in unfair ways.
So oftentimes what I'm litigating is where they are targeting particularly student IDs.
And even within that, it's usually where they're targeting state-issued student IDs, you know, and
And this bill, for example, does that, right?
The Save America Act, as it began, by the way, I wrote about this on Democracy Docket.
If you go back and look at the history of the Save Act, it began as a message bill that Mike Johnson threw together because Marjorie Taylor Greene had filed a motion to vacate the chair that she was going to force a vote on.
This is back in 2024.
And he runs down to Mar-a-Lago and does a press conference with Donald Trump and gets his blessing.
And in exchange, he says, I'm going to put forward this bill on proof of citizenship.
It had no ID requirement.
The ID requirement doesn't come until the Save America Act, which is earlier this year.
So its lineage isn't a voter ID bill either.
And in that bill, it actually says you need state-issued photo ID, except no state may allow the use of state-issued college university IDs.
And so I strongly object to that because if Florida can issue an ID and it's issuing it through its university system, I don't understand why that's any less secure than any other ID that the state of Florida issues.
So here is where I land on the ID thing.
The question is, what work is the ID doing?
