Pennsylvania Democrat congressional nominee Bob Brooks opposes voter identification requirements for elections, but his campaign apparently has a different standard when controlling admission to its own events.
Brooks required attendees to present identification, and campaign staff reportedly denied entry to at least one person seeking to attend.
The episode offers voters another striking example of Democrat hypocrisy surrounding basic election security.
Identification is portrayed as sinister when citizens cast ballots, yet it suddenly becomes reasonable when Democrat campaigns want to know exactly who is entering the room.
Brooks is running in Pennsylvania’s 7th Congressional District, where he hopes to unseat Republican Rep. Ryan Mackenzie.
The district is expected to host one of the most closely watched and competitive House contests of the 2026 election cycle.
The Democrat nominee has collected endorsements from Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont and former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Those endorsements place Brooks firmly inside the national progressive operation, even as he attempts to appeal to Pennsylvania voters concerned about costs, public safety, and election integrity.
