Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz on Wednesday night said Republican governors and legislatures are purposefully pressing for the enactment of voter-identification laws to suppress Democratic voter turnout in the 2012 election.
“State legislatures are attempting to impose voting restrictions that are the modern-day equivalent of poll taxes and literacy tests,” the Florida congresswoman said on the House floor. “We cannot allow state legislatures to drag our nation backward in what is nothing more than a political quest to protect their governing majority’s interests.”
