Pelosi Statement on Supreme Court Decision on Voter ID

"The Supreme Court's decision is disappointing. The Court's decision today places obstacles to the fundamental rights of American citizens -- especially the poor, the elderly, and individuals with disabilities -- to participate in the electoral process. Requiring American citizens pay for underlying documents needed for an identification card and travel to distant motor vehicle locations for processing hinders -- and diminishes -- their right to vote.

"The right to vote is a foundation of our democracy. American citizens who wish to vote must be able to do so."
