And the Supreme Court explained that requiring photo ID enhances the integrity of an election and the integrity of democracy.

Now our Democrat colleagues don't want to acknowledge any of those facts.

And I guess it's understandable because the American people have heard their specious arguments and they have rejected them.

Mr. President, 81% of Americans support requiring photo ID to vote.

But my Democrat colleagues might say, what about African Americans?

Well, about three quarters of African Americans in the United States require support requiring photo ID to vote.

How about Hispanics?

More than 80% of Hispanics in America support requiring photo ID to vote.

How about Democrats?

Here's an astonishing statistic.

If you get out of elected office, if you ask a Democrat on the street, 70% of Democrats in America

support requiring photo ID to vote.

The one group that doesn't are elected Democrats in the United States Senate and the United States House.

And by the way, the premise of their argument that minorities, if you require photo ID to vote, are not going to be able to vote is frankly insulting.

Mr. President, I'm proud to be an Hispanic American.

I've been an Hispanic all my life.

You know what I've got in my wallet?

I have a driver's license.

I look at my colleagues across the way.

I feel confident they have driver's licenses in their wallets as well.
