On Adamize, Adam and Brentin discuss the Tea Party push for voter ID laws (00:19). Would these laws be less onerous if states provided voters with free IDs (07:57)? Is there a constitutional right (12:29) to vote, and would universal voter registration make a difference? Has the Obama administration (17:31) adequately enforced civil rights laws with regard to voting? Switching gears, they criticize conservative outlets for hyping a 2007 video of Obama discussing race (25:23). Finally, they differ over whether race played a role in Obama’s poor showing in the first debate (36:25).
