Sen Gallegos SD 6

We just watched a video chronicling the fight over the Voter ID bill. Senator Gallegos stayed in the Senate chamber against his doctor's orders along with the entire Democratic delegation to block passage of the bill. His life was threatened with his illness and he stayed in the chamber with a guerney just 30 feet away from his seat. What a moving story! The bill would have required three forms of ID in order to vote. This is a shameful power play brought by national agenda Republicans anxious to disenfranchise voters in a state, as Senate Eliot Schapleigh stated, that has had ZERO cases pending or investigated on voter fraud relating to identification. There is no problem to fix here. The convention continues.
