WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND) announced today he will introduce legislation to require states where there are vaccine passport mandates to also enact voter identification laws.

“If states that take federal money for elections feel the need to make residents verify a piece of information as private as their vaccination status just to return to normalcy, then they should have no problem requiring people to prove they are who they say they are when they go to vote,” said Senator Cramer. “My legislation would ensure those states are being consistent about their identification requirements and shine a light on those who hypocritically oppose Voter ID laws but support vaccine passports.”

The senator plans to introduce this bill as a standalone piece of legislation, as well as an amendment to Democrats’ $3.5 trillion spending package which will be advanced using the budget reconciliation process. He will be seeking cosponsors for the legislation ahead of its formal introduction.
