So why then is passing a bill to "fix" a non-issue the top GOP priority rather than affordability or other things that are actually hurting Americans?

GOP knows they can not leave office.

Thank you MAGA welcome to the USSR and North Korea

To vote during election, this person would then need to show a drivers permit, or license, or a passport/card. If they married after registering to vote, they’d need to show updated photo id or the marriage record.

If they divorce, they’d need to show updated photo id or court order showing name change.

What’s the issue?

The issue is that the United States does not have a voter fraud problem.

Then what’s the issue? If there’s no fraud, requiring ID won’t change anything.

The issue is that it is an infringement on states’ rights. The federal government has no constitutional role in qualifying voters. None.

- Naturalized citizens: more likely to vote Democratic
- Wealthy people who travel frequently: more likely to vote Democratic
- Young, unmarried women: one of the most Democratic-leaning demographics
- Married women who kept their maiden name: Very Democratic leaning.

On the other hand, let's think about the type of people who may not have the required ID:

- People from rural areas who rarely, if ever, leave the USA: likely a heavily Republican-leaning demographic
- Married women who change their last name: probably more Republican-leaning than their counterparts who kept their maiden names (think "tradwives")

The Democrats should still oppose this act on principle, but it would be really funny if it passes and immediately boosts Democratic chances immensely

Many people think that long term it will hurt Republicans but shrot-term it will help them. Another group that leans left are college students and they will be totally disenfranchised because their addresses won't match.

Most college students vote in their home district, where they grew up. That’s their address.
