As part of that mandate for patrons over the age of 18, customers will have to show photo ID as proof their name matches the vaccination card they present for entry. Despite that, the District does not require photo identification for most voters with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.voteriders.org\/states\/washington-dc\/\">two<\/a> exceptions.<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/washington-d-c-announces-covid-19-vaccine-requirement-for-nearly-everything-indoors\">previously reported<\/a>, Bowser announced the new vaccine mandate in late December to supposedly help fight the surging coronavirus cases. Starting January 15, that order will now be enforced. Dozens of establishments such as cafes, nightclubs, hotel common rooms, bowling alleys, concert halls, and more will now be required to hang a poster in the storefront window notifying \u201cVaccination Required.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAttention: Per Mayor\u2019s Order 2021-48, COVID-19 Vaccination is REQUIRED to enter this business\u201d the sign reads before noting that customers age 12 and up must show proof of vaccination such as an official completed CDC vaccination card. Those over the age of 18 must also show a photo ID.<\/p>\n<p>According to the D.C. government website, adults can show official identification cards such as a photo a state-issued&nbsp;driver\u2019s license or limited purpose driver\u2019s license, any other state-issued identification card, passport, DC one card, or a student ID.<\/p>\n<p>In the past Democratic Party leaders and others in the media have suggested that requiring ID to vote is tantamount to enacting \u201cNew Jim Crow\u201d laws because they argue black Americans are less likely to have voter ID than their white counterparts.<\/p>\n<p>This past summer, President Joe Biden criticized Georgia for enacting a new voting law that included a voter ID requirement to cast a ballot. Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/03\/26\/politics\/joe-biden-georgia-voting-rights-bill\/index.html\">called<\/a> the law, \u201cJim Crow in the 21st Century.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead of celebrating the rights of all Georgians to vote or winning campaigns on the merits of their ideas, Republicans in the state instead rushed through an un-American law to deny people the right to vote,\u201d he added. \u201cThis law, like so many others being pursued by Republicans in statehouses across the country is a blatant attack on the Constitution and good conscience.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the left-wing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aclu.org\/other\/oppose-voter-id-legislation-fact-sheet\">American Civil Liberties Union<\/a>, \u201cMinority voters disproportionately lack ID. Nationally, up to 25% of African-American citizens of voting age lack government-issued photo ID, compared to only 8% of whites\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite that, Democratic politicians seem to have no problem requiring photo ID to essentially participate in daily life.<\/p>\n<p>This irony was noted by numerous folks on Twitter, including an employee for The Babylon Bee, who tweeted, \u201cdemocrats really went from \u2018it\u2019s racist to need an ID to vote\u2019 to \u2018you need an ID to leave your house\u2019 within two years. whew.\u201d<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">democrats really went from \u201cit\u2019s racist to need an ID to vote\u201d to \u201cyou need an ID to leave your house\u201d within two years. whew. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Nx5kaqnJzS\">https:\/\/t.co\/Nx5kaqnJzS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MJ (@morganisawizard) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/morganisawizard\/status\/1480975162304458752?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 11, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
