But it wasn't a landslide. Democrats just need to double down on their messaging. Call people racist harder. Insist men can be women harder. Defend "Maryland fathers" harder.

Voter ID law and election integrity should be top priority in new Congress.

Voters want it, and with good reason.

Glenn Harlan Reynolds

 

Who are you?  Who who, who who?  I really wanna know.

Okay, that’s from – appropriately enough – The Who, but it’s also a reasonable question to ask regarding voters.  Elon Musk tweeted the below the other day:

Now maybe this doesn’t mean anything.  Perhaps opposition to voter ID is just an article of faith in blue states, and unsurprisingly they also vote blue.  Maybe.

But maybe not.  Making voters show photo ID seems intuitively likely to reduce fraud, as it makes it harder for people to pretend to be someone else.  Maybe it’s people pretending to be other voters to get another vote; maybe it’s people pretending to be voters who are dead or inactive in order to get another vote, but making people show a trustworthy photo ID when voting makes such fraud much more difficult.

 

At any rate, the GOP should make a national photo ID requirement for federal elections a top priority in the next Congress.  And it should go further.

 

Seventy-four percent of European countries entirely ban absentee voting for citizens who reside domestically. Another 6% limit it to those hospitalized or in the military, and they require third-party verification and a photo voter ID. Another 15% require a photo ID for absentee voting.
