The crowd at Wednesday night's debate between candidates vying to be the next chair of the Democratic National Committee laughed at the suggestion of new voter ID laws.
CNN host Chris Cuomo asked candidate Peter Peckarsky what would be wrong with more voter ID laws, prompting Peckarsky to respond with a laugh. Cuomo had mentioned that President Donald Trump has feared that many people voted illegally in the 2016 election.
Peckarsky has made his opposition to voter ID laws a key part of his platform, calling such measures a form of voter suppression.
"What would be wrong with more voter ID laws?" Peckarsky asked sarcastically. "Is that the question?"
Cuomo responded that it was Peckarsky's right to answer his question with a question while the crowd laughed at the candidate's response.
