Liberal/progressive profound hypocrisy on voter identification

What hypocrites!  The liberals, progressives, or whatever label they prefer, do not recognize their own hypocrisy.  Take just one topic for example: mandatory voter identification, defined as a government issued photo identification card.  Democrats vociferously object to such laws.  

Ms. Clinton calls laws requiring voter identification "a blast from the Jim Crow past" and her campaign issued the following, "Voting rights are an illusion if the state requires people to have voter IDs and then makes it much harder for people to get them. This misguided law could disenfranchise over a quarter of a million voters in Alabama and result in suppressing the voices of African American and Latino voters..."

Yet twelve states (California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, New Mexico, Nevada, Utah, Vermont and Washington) issue driver's licenses, the most commonly used version of photo identification, to illegal immigrants. Don't see any red states in that group.

As shown in the following from the San Diego Union-Tribune, the numbers are staggering for California in 2015, the first year the state issued licenses to illegal immigrants.




Let the numbers sink in for a minute.  New licenses increased by 55% over the previous year and a full 43% of the new licenses were to illegal immigrants.  

The hypocrisy of the left is profoundly apparent.  If one of the most liberal/progressive bluest states in the union can issue driver licenses to illegal immigrants to satisfy liberal/progressive objectives, then the matter of requiring government issued photo identification for voting had been rendered a moot issue.

But of course, the Democrats can not see their own highly visible hypocrisy.
