Summary
A new attack ad from Republicans targets U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga., for requiring identification at his rallies while opposing voter ID laws. The ad shows staffers asking for IDs at Ossoff’s Feb. 7 rally, while Ossoff has called attempts to establish stricter photo-identification rules for voting “nakedly partisan” and “bad faith.” Ossoff’s team declined to comment. Republicans in the House of Representatives passed a voter integrity law requiring stricter in-person documentation, which Ossoff’s Republican challenger Rep. Buddy Carter criticized as hypocritical.
