Obama and Voter ID

Obama Showed Photo ID To Vote In 2012 But Just Told Democrats To Kill Voter ID Bill

Trump White House Exposes Obama's SAVE Act Hypocrisy With 2012 Photo

Karoline Leavitt dropped a bomb Thursday that Democrats can't ignore.

She posted a 2012 photograph showing Obama at the Martin Luther King Community Center in Chicago, pulling his Illinois driver's license from his wallet for early voting. Election worker Marie Holmes is checking his photo ID – exactly what Obama now says would disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Obama joked about the lack of gray hair in his license photo as he complied with Illinois law requiring government-issued photo identification for early voting.

He didn't complain about suppression that day.

He didn't sue Illinois for Jim Crow tactics.

He smiled for the cameras and handed over his ID like every other American who needs one to board a plane, buy cold medicine, or pick up a prescription.

Identification is needed for almost everything. Too bad Democrats want to steal elections like 2020.

The difference, Lynn, is that it's a right. In addition, there has been zero proof of non-citizens voting to any measurable degree provided by any hysterical MAGA who claims tens of millions of immigrants are voting...well, except in elections that are won by Donald Trump and other Republicans. Those elections have to be totally legit because Republicans won them.

It's funny because it's so insane.

The only thing "insane" is you believing that illegals don't vote in elections. Federal law prohibits noncitizens from voting in federal elections, but there is no such restriction for local elections. Florida has a voter ID law. At least DeSantis does it right.
