Today, I’m doing something I don’t usually do.
I made a YouTube video. With movie clips and everything.
It’s called “No ID, No Vote: How Republicans Are Rigging the System.” And it’s exactly what it sounds like — a breakdown of how voter ID laws aren’t about preventing fraud (because that’s not even a real problem), but about preventing you from voting.
And here’s the kicker: we have them on video saying it.
“Voter ID, which is going to allow Governor Romney to win the state of Pennsylvania — done.”
That’s a real quote. From a real Republican lawmaker. On camera.
Voter ID laws are framed as common-sense protections. But when you dig in, and when you spend nearly a decade helping people get ID like I have, the truth becomes obvious. These laws are strategic tools of suppression. And they work.
In states like Georgia and Wisconsin, the number of registered voters who don’t have the ID they need to vote is way higher than the margin of victory in recent presidential elections.
This isn’t about voter integrity.
It’s about power.
And about making sure poor people, young people, unhoused people, and Black and brown people stay quiet and invisible.

I made this video because I’m tired of being polite.
For years, I’ve worked quietly behind the scenes- running Spread The Vote + Project ID, writing a book, even introducing federal legislation to solve this crisis. But things are getting worse, not better, and we need this movement to grow. So we’re kicking things up a notch.
The stakes are too high.
26 million adults in America don’t have ID.
And without ID, they can’t vote.
They also can’t get jobs.
Or housing.
Or food from a pantry.
Or medical care for their kids.
Or safety.
This is systemic exclusion. And it's working exactly as intended.
So here’s what I want you to do:
👉 Watch the video:
👉 Share it with your friends and fam. Especially the ones who need a little nudge to register, check their ID, or care.
👉 Check in with your people. Do they have ID? Do they know what they'll need to vote in their state? If not, we can help [ [link removed] ] — that’s literally what we do.
👉 Subscribe to the channel if you want more truth with movie quotes.
Midterms are coming. And like every other election lately, they will be the most important of our lives. Let’s make sure they count.
