EXCERPT:
LEE: “Okay. I do find it troubling that these couldn’t both all be answered with a simple yes, and I think if you ask most Americans, overwhelming majority of Americans would say, yeah, you should have to be a citizen to vote in a federal election, and yeah, you ought to be required to prove it. You have to show identification papers when you board an airplane. Unless you’re an illegal alien, of course. But that’s a different question. To go to the doctor in many instances, to pick up a prescription in many instances. All kinds of things require identification. Why not voting? Now, the Carter-Baker report from 2008 — keep in mind that the Carter in Carter-Baker is former President Jimmy Carter — recommended that states require voters to use a real ID compliant identification to ‘ensure that persons presenting themselves at the polling places are in fact the ones on the registration list.’ And I agree with former President Carter on that.”
