Democrat leaders in New York City oppose voter ID laws but are not above requiring such papers for recruiting people for manual labor.
The New York City Department on Sanitation’s website features a page where residents can apply to become paid “Emergency Snow Shovelers” as a winter storm bears down on the area.
However, the page said applicants must present two photos, “Two original forms of ID, plus copies,” and their Social Security card.
The New York Post reported Saturday that democratic socialist Mayor Zohran Mandani is opposed to requiring people to show identification when voting. When it comes to shoveling snow, it appears he is not against bending the rules.
“The mayor is a member of the NY-chapter of the Democratic Socialists of America, which vehemently opposes Voter ID law The SAVE Act, deeming it racist,” the Post article read.
The news comes as New York City and other areas of the east coast are bracing for a major winter storm Sunday into Monday, with authorities issuing a blizzard warning, per Breitbart News.
