Now, Rep. Clyburn, the third-ranking Democrat in the House, indicates that he is supportive of a photo ID requirement at polling places.

Is this an indication of widespread realization among Democrats that it does not make common sense and is not a politically viable strategy to oppose measures that promote the integrity of the voting process?
