President Trump and Senate Republicans are struggling to pass the SAVE Act – which would require states to require voters to show ID at the polls along with other election integrity measures. So far, Senate Democrats are unanimously opposed, with California Senator Adam Schiff claiming SAVE “is another way to simply suppress the vote.”

But that’s not how his constituents in California see it. Many of them have just finished collecting 1.3 million signatures to qualify a constitutional amendment to implement voter ID at the polls.  It would also require those voting by mail to give the last four digits of a unique identification number form a government-issued ID.

A Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies poll last year found nearly 60 percent of state Democrats even supported the idea of requiring proof of citizenship when people register to vote for the first time.

If California voters approve adding voter ID to the state Constitution, they will be making it abundantly clear that blue state Democrats who block such a reform aren’t speaking for anyone but partisan office holders.
