I don't remember the number, but it's very low.

Many people have lost or never had their birth certificates.

If you passed a law like that, it would make it much more difficult for some people to vote, especially certain kinds of people.

So married women would have to show a passport, a birth certificate, and a marriage license because your birth certificate name is different from your married name.

And so many people believe this is a way to get fewer women to vote, and women are more likely to vote Democrat.

It's also part of a narrative.

So the administration is trying to argue that lots and lots of illegal immigrants are voting, which is a conspiracy theory.

There's no evidence of it.

There is no evidence really of almost any illegal immigrants ever voting.

And if you think about it, if you were an illegal immigrant, why would you want to vote?

Because it would just be a way of attracting attention to yourself.

But they seek to establish this narrative as a way of –

They're disqualifying Democratic votes.

They want to say that votes and Trump did this during the last election.

Votes in cities are too high.

If they need to call for a voter recount, they want to say that this is the explanation for why they've lost.

And so the part of the reason why they're talking about voter ID is that.

I mean, it's risky because I imagine lots of Republicans don't have passports.

Yeah.

But I think they've calculated that it would suit them better.
