Critics Pan GOP Lawmakers Remarkable Voter ID Argument: Worst Analogy In History

Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pa.) steered his argument for voter ID requirements toward rental cars Wednesday as he questioned Attorney General Merrick Garlands recent vow to challenge unnecessary restrictions on ballot access.

Its quite remarkable. You cant rent a car in this country without showing an ID, Reschenthaler told Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo .

Theres office buildings in Washington, D.C., you cant get into unless you show an ID. But then, to vote, you dont need an ID?

The Pennsylvania Republicans take arrives after Garland in remarks ahead of the 59th anniversary of Bloody Sunday in Selma, Alabama pledged to challenge attempts by states and jurisdictions to implement discriminatory, burdensome and unnecessary restrictions on voting access, such as voter ID requirements.

Critics on X mocked Reschenthalers argument, including one social media user who called it possibly the worst analogy in human history .
