Even though illegal immigrants being released on the border are being given IDs, Fetterman maintains that requiring actual citizens to have them is a racist policy.
Falling in line with the progressive orthodoxy, Fetterman has decried voter ID laws as “insidious and unnecessary” throughout his tenure as the Keystone State’s lieutenant governor.
Fetterman went as far as to argue that the laws — the standard in most nations worldwide — suppressed the vote and announced he was “horrified” by Republicans’ push for the measures in Pennsylvania and nationwide.

“In my state, they are going to pass, attempt to pass a constitutional amendment making sure that universal voting ID for every time you vote, not just when you sign up to vote, but every time you vote,” Fetterman announced in December 2021.
