WASHINGTON, D.C. – Republican National
Committee (RNC) Chairman Joe Gruters released the following statement after
Senate Democrats voted against voter identification requirements:
“Democrats like Chuck
Schumer lied to the American people by claiming to support commonsense voter ID
laws, while voting against what more than 80% of Americans see as the most
basic safeguard to protect our elections,” said Chairman Gruters.
“American elections are for American citizens, and that should never be up for
debate. The only reason Democrats continue to oppose voter ID is because they
want a system where they can cheat.”
