Rep. Shomari Figures (D-AL) was left scrambling after a town hall attempt to demonstrate that voter ID laws “disenfranchise” Americans appeared to collapse in real time.
The Alabama Democrat has been outspoken in opposing the SAVE America Act, with mandates vote ID.
During a town hall event, Figures tried to make his case directly to constituents.
However, the response severely undercut his argument.
