Why Republicans' "Common Sense" Voter ID Law Actually Makes No Sense at All

About this episode

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin just admitted it: Real ID doesn't prove citizenship. In this video, Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias breaks down the 15-word slip that exposes the real goal of Trump's voter ID push and why only two documents actually prove citizenship — documents that many Americans don't have. It's a policy that hits Black voters and married women hardest, and the Election Integrity Network's own handbook shows it's by design.
