just check out what florida congressman ron desantis said last week. >> i've always done the photo idnd never had a problem with it. >> he has never had a problem with photo id. so that means it's not an issue for anybody else, right? wrong. there are lots of id examples too, like vivette applewhite, the 93-year-old woman who was denied after voting for 70 years. and dorothy cooper, the 96-year-old who was denied voter id because she didn't have her marriage license. the attack on voting rights is specific and not fair. and there is no denying who it affects the most. surveys show that voter id disproportionately affects women, minorities, disabled, low income voters, and students. the congressman didn't have problems voting. neither did most people until you change the id laws that were unnecessary to change. so why don't we keep the id where it was, rather than these bogus attempts to try to look for a problem that is not there. and solve it with something that's unfair. thanks for watching. i'm al sharpton. "hardball" starts right now. >>> good evening. i'm chris matthews back in w
