Rep. Clyburn’s false claim that ‘no Democrat’ has opposed voter ID laws

CLYBURN: You already know, Neil, I don’t know why folks preserve misrepresenting stuff. There’s not a single time that I’ve ever voted in my whole life — and I’m going to be 81 years previous subsequent week — there’s not a single time that I’ve voted that I didn’t ID myself. What I spoke about was permitting an ID, an image ID of a hunter’s license to be good, however of a scholar exercise card to be no good. That’s the type of voter ID regulation that I’m speaking about that’s unfair. I’ve stated that every one of my life. I don’t know why you guys preserve misrepresenting what I stated. I’ve by no means stated that you shouldn’t have voter ID. Once I acquired my voter registration playing cards, I preserve them in my pockets. And once I go to vote, I offered that each time. And I stated to them, I’m Jim Clyburn, that is my ID, and I wish to vote. I’ve at all times had voter ID. And that’s why the consultant earlier who voted — no Democrat has by no means been in opposition to voter ID.
