Fetterman said he opposes voter ID laws because 'people of color are less likely to have their ID’
Pennsylvania Lieutenant Governor John Fetterman, a Democrat, opposes voter identification laws because poor people and "people of color" are "less likely to have their ID at any one given time."
Despite their prevalence worldwide, Fetterman, who is running for the open Keystone State Senate seat against Republican Dr. Mehmet Oz, has been an outspoken opponent of voter ID laws in America.
Falling in line with the progressive orthodoxy, Fetterman has decried voter ID laws as "insidious and unnecessary" during his tenure as the Keystone State’s lieutenant governor.
In fact, Fetterman went as far as to claim the laws — which are the standard in most countries worldwide — suppressed the vote and said he was "horrified" by Republicans’ push for the measures in Pennsylvania and nationwide.
Fetterman also said that poorer Americans and "people of color" are less likely to have their ID on them at any given moment, such as when voting for an elected official.
"In my own state, they are going to pass, attempt to pass a constitutional amendment making sure that universal voting ID for every time you vote, not just when you sign up to vote, but every time you vote," Fetterman said in December 2021.
"Because they understand that at any given time, there’s tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians who typically are on the poorer side and are people of color that are less likely to have their ID at any one given time," the Democrat nominee continued.
