Your U.S.
passport doesn't have your address on it.
It just says you are a U.S.
citizen.
It's simply identifying you.
And so if we wound up in a world in which Republicans wanted to have a serious discussion about ID, where we were just talking about how do we make sure the person standing in front of you is the person they say they are, then, like, honestly, that's a conversation I'm happy to have.
But then, for example, you wouldn't say that a driver's license from another state
is not sufficient.
Why wouldn't it be sufficient to prove ID, right?
Does Florida not believe that the Texas driver's license proves that the person standing in front of them is who they say they are?
There would be an opportunity, for example, for people in nursing homes.
This is something that, frankly, the folks on Fox talk about all the time, so I want to address them head-on.
They're like, why does in Minnesota, why are nursing home workers allowed to swear out an affidavit that says that the person who is voting is someone they care for and is who they say they are?
That's a perfectly acceptable form of ID.
I mean, who would know the identity of the person better than their caregiver?
if they are elderly and don't have a driver's license.
I mean, I think what the folks at Fox and Conservatives are really saying is they don't think really old people in nursing homes should be allowed to vote, which is fine.
Just say that.
But don't say it's about ID, because, like, there's no doubt that the resident who, like, lives in a nursing home, that their nurse knows
what their identity is, and if they're swearing out an affidavit that says, I know Mr. Jones, I've cared for Mr. Jones for seven years, and this is Mr. Jones, like, there's no reason why that shouldn't be sufficient.
