So why do the Democrats oppose both?

'Over 80 Percent of Americans Support Voter ID and Proof of Citizenship
Laws'

'This week, I wrote about polls that show the public is not buying the
apocalyptic predictions of the imminent death of democracy unless Kamala
Harris is elected president. Now, a new poll shatters another main
talking point of pundits and the press. Democratic candidates, including
Vice President Harris, have denounced voter identification laws as “Jim
Crow 2.0” attacks on voters. A majority of voters have long supported
these laws. According to a new Gallup poll, that majority is now a
supermajority.

Despite unrelenting attacks on these laws in the media, eight in ten
Americans now support both laws:

With less than two weeks to go in the presidential campaign and voting
already underway in many states, 76% of U.S. adults favor the concept of
early voting. Two other election law policies are supported by even more
Americans — requiring photo identification to vote (84%) and providing
proof of citizenship when registering to vote for the first time (83%).

Majorities of Americans favor a range of election law policies that
expand voters’ access to the ballot box, including early voting,
automatic voter registration, and sending absentee ballot applications
to all eligible voters. They also broadly support measures to limit
fraud and ensure election integrity, including requiring photo
identification to vote and providing proof of citizenship when first
registering to vote.

There are few major political issues today that could show this type of
overwhelming support, including from Democrats. Yet, both the Democratic
politicians and pundits continue to denounce these laws. Indeed, the
campaign against Georgia resulted in their losing the All-Star Game and
its economic benefits. Yet, under these laws, Georgia is setting records
in the turnout of voters.

In the meantime, the Biden Administration is continuing to oppose and
legally challenge efforts of states like Virginia to remove alleged
non-citizens from their voting rolls'
