<p>On Sunday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger appeared on CBS’ “Face The Nation” with host Margaret Brennan.</p>
<p>During a segment on voting legislation, Raffensperger and Brennan sparred over voter ID requirements, as well as citizen voting.</p>
<p>“I think that we should have a constitutional amendment, a U.S. constitution amendment that only American citizens vote in our elections. I think we should have also photo ID,” Raffensperger said.</p>
<p>Brennan jumped in, saying<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>that “only U.S. citizens do currently vote in elections,” to which Raffensperger replied: “But we don&#8217;t have a constitutional amendment.”</p>
<p>The Georgia Secretary of State continued, noting that “cities are trying to push non-citizen voting,” and that majorities of Americans support both citizenship requirements and voter ID.</p>
<p>Brennan claimed the latest voting laws being pushed by Democrats “promote a national standard for states that have an ID requirement for in-person voting. You could use a bank statement or utility bill.”</p>
<p>“It does not have photo ID, and photo ID is the most secure way of using — making sure that you can identify who the voter is, and I think that&#8217;s very important,” Raffensperger said. “And then they also want same-day registration, and that&#8217;s just, you know, very difficult for any election official to manage. And I think that undermines trust in elections.”</p>
<p>According to a <a href="https://www.monmouth.edu/polling-institute/reports/monmouthpoll_us_062121/">June poll</a> by Monmouth University, a strong majority of Americans believe that ID should be required to vote.</p>
<p>“In general, do you support or oppose requiring voters to show a photo I.D. in order to vote?” the poll asked. 80% of respondents supported voter ID, while just 18% opposed it.</p>

<p>PARTIAL TRANSCRIPT:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>RAFFENSPERGER: I think that we should have a constitutional amendment, a U.S. constitution amendment that only American citizens vote in our elections. I think we should have also photo ID. We now have photo ID for all forms of voting in Georgia&#8211;</em></p>
<p><em>BRENNAN: Only U.S. citizens do currently vote in elections, but go on.</em></p>
<p><em>RAFFENSPERGER: But we don&#8217;t have a constitutional amendment. Now you see cities are trying to push non-citizen voting, and I believe that only American citizens should be voting in our elections, that’s supported by a wide variety — a wide majority of all Americans, just like photo ID is supported by all demographic groups and a majority of both political parties. And that&#8217;s what they&#8217;ve been using in Minnesota for over 11 years for their absentee balloting. So that&#8217;s another, you know, solid, common sense federal reform measure if they really want to get serious about election reform.</em></p>
<p><em>BRENNAN: I assume there you&#8217;re referring to the president and the vice president, who will be traveling to your state in the coming days. They are doing so to campaign for two laws: the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act.</em></p>
<p><em>RAFFENSPERGER: Right, and–</em></p>
<p><em>BRENNAN: The Freedom to Vote Act actually does promote a national standard for states that have an ID requirement for in-person voting. You could use a bank statement or utility bill. I wonder, why do you think Republicans–</em></p>
<p><em>RAFFENSPERGER: It does not have — it does not have photo ID, and photo ID is the most secure way of using — making sure that you can identify who the voter is, and I think that&#8217;s very important. And then they also want same day registration, and that&#8217;s just, you know, very difficult for any election official to manage. And I think that undermines trust in elections. And right now, we need to restore trust wherever we can.</em></p></blockquote>
