Once upon a time, less than 10 years ago, many Democrats supported strong voter ID laws. Now they say such laws are “racist.”
Recently, former President Jimmy Carter told a crowd commemorating the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington: “I believe we all know how Dr. King would have reacted to the new I.D. requirements to exclude certain voters, especially African-Americans.”
Say what?
Mr. Carter co-chaired the Commission on Federal Election Reform, whose 2005 report, “Building Confidence in U.S. Elections,” strongly recommended voter-ID laws and other reforms to ensure election integrity.
