Sen. Rick Scott Defends Voter ID, Says Critics ‘Underestimate’ Women Voters

Sen. Scott is pushing back hard on claims that voter ID rules would disenfranchise married women, arguing that Democrats are underestimating women voters and insulting their intelligence. Coverage of Scott’s remarks reflects him saying women in his family can “figure out” how to get whatever ID they need and vote, turning the debate into a broader fight over whether election rules are about fairness or political fear.
