Senator John Fetterman has done it again! He has been the voice of reason in the Democrat party. If someone had told me that would happen when he was elected, I would have thought they were nuts! I am amazed at his common sense and at his courage to stand up to his party.
On Monday, American Greatness reported:
Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) has broken ranks with Democratic leadership and has come out in favor of requiring photo ID for voting in elections across the nation.
Fetterman appeared on the Fox News program “Sunday Morning Futures” yesterday and told host Maria Bartiromo that voter ID wasn’t an “unreasonable” requirement, saying, “It’s not a radical idea for regular Americans to show your ID to vote.”
Fetterman pointed to states like Wisconsin that have similar protections requiring proof of citizenship for federal voter registration and photo ID at the polls.
He noted that 60% of voters in Wisconsin support such safeguards, despite having elected liberal justice Susan Crawford in 2025 to the Wisconsin Supreme Court.
House Republicans plan to vote this week on the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act with national polls showing 83% of Americans support the measure, including 71% of Democrats.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries continued to decry the SAVE America Act as “voter suppression” and accused President Trump and GOP leadership of trying to steal the upcoming midterm elections by nationalizing them.
Our Founding Fathers understood the depravity of man–that’s why there are checks and balances within our government. However, I don’t think they believed that we would reach a point where a political party would cheat to win an election and voter id would be necessary.
