Certainly can't be because it would be "unfair" to African Americans or Latinos...

They need illegal votes to win?
Trump like it = they hate it?
Pretty simple. Almost everyone wants a voter ID system, but the GOP plan to limit acceptable ID to birth certificates and passports will make it harder for many people to comply and result in lower voter participation by large numbers of legal US citizens.
Put together a system with free ID that doesn't systematically make it difficult to vote (examples: persons in nursing homes, persons who are homeless, person too poor to pay any fees to secure needed ID) and it will have bipartisan support, even though the rate of people voting illegally is probably a lot lower than the rate of felony convictions by US Presidents.
Florida requires photo ID and I support that. But FL accepts a "real ID" Florida driver's license, and if you don't have a driver's license they have a list of acceptable alternatives. All states doing that would be a great plan.

Nice gaslighting.
"BREAKING: In a stunning blow to Democrats, 76% PERCENT of BLACK Americans want nationwide voter ID — in other words, the SAVE America Act." Who is this hyperbolic Eric Daughtery, and why are his comments re-posted in this forum so often? This tweet, at least, reads like full-blown partisan hackery.Certainly can't be because it would be "unfair" to African Americans or Latinos...
The simplest solution that keeps voting wholly under state control is to simply require that all states devise a voter ID system of their own choosing. Most have one already. And don't put on unnecessary add-ons like banning mail-in voting for registered voters who have already been verified with photo ID. Many red states do mail-in voting securely, including FL

Is that the CNN anchor championing nationwide voter ID?
Who wouldn't want unidentified, heavily armed, fully masked, barely trained gravy seals stopping you at polling places and demanding that you put your hands up and show them your papers?

How does one prove citizenship and a right to vote with a Real ID? I don't believe they do.

Not an anchor, their data guru.
The reality is that there is a difference between the idea of requiring voter ID (which has widespread bipartisan support) and passing the "SAVE America Act" as it is written, which is sure to deliver a host of (presumably) unintended consequences involving reducing voting by legal US citizen voters.

Required Documentation Checklist for real id:
You must bring original or certified documents (not photocopies) to your appointment:
Proof of Identity/Lawful Status (1 Document): U.S. Birth Certificate (original/certified), valid U.S. Passport, Certificate of Naturalization, or Permanent Resident Card.
Social Security Number (1 Document): Social Security card, W-2 form, or 1099 form.
Residency (2 Documents): Utility bill, lease agreement, mortgage statement, or bank statement displaying your name and physical address.
Name Change (If Applicable): Certified marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order if your current name differs from your identity document
---
So if you have already registered to vote and if you show your real id when you vote, you are good to go.
