Democrats
have railed against voter ID laws, and their platform “opposes laws that place
unnecessary restrictions” on those seeking to vote, but Democratic National
Convention officials will only issue credentials to those who present
state-issued IDs.
The DNC’s website said that “all pickup persons must have a
state-issued ID that matches the name submitted” to receive credentials. Media
members attending the DNC have to present photo IDs at multiple
checkpoints.
