The other thing Democrats should do is support for Free National Voter ID, which would force Republicans to oppose Free National Voter ID, something Republicans already oppose, but nobody ever forces them to explain why.

This is an oddity. At a dinner party on Saturday I brought this issue up and none of the Republicans could articulate why this is a problem, though there were no Democrats able to articulate a reason either.
Because Democrats don't seem to like it either?
"There are only three problems with a national ID: Republicans hate it, Libertarians hate it, and Democrats hate it," says Kathleen Unger, the founder of VoteRiders, an organization devoted to helping people obtain ID.

Rather old but will the ACLU change its mind? This is in regard to the 9/11 Commission report.
"We all want a country that is as safe as possible," said Marvin Johnson, an ACLU Legislative Counsel. "But 'Big Brother' provisions such as a national ID card would only serve to restrict our freedoms and invade our privacy and do nothing to ensure our security."

Regarding the topic, this is just "dust" its obfuscation, just look at what Spanberger did, campaigned in the middle, went CRAZY with taxation on NEW taxes on electric landscaping equipment.
