"Whether you voted for the first time, or waited in line for a very long 
time---by the way, we have to fix that."

---Barack Obama, in his acceptance speech.

We are ready with ideas to fix that, and it should start with 
congressional legislation.  Let's put it on the agenda.

the near concession. This is a huge deal.  Before this year, voter id 
had been supported in public by both Democratic and Republican voters 
(though opposed by Democratic elites).   This is the year that voter id 
and the voting wars more generally broke through as a major political 
issue on the Democratic side on the left.

The defeat of this amendment means that the dispute over ID in the 
public is now more likely to reflect the split among elites.

More on the backlash over Republican overreaching on ID, early voting, 
etc. to come.
