Mamdani's grocery giveaway hits ID snag as critics cry foul: 'Make it make sense'

New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's plan for government-run grocery stores with 30% discounts faces criticism over potential abuse and resale of discounted goods. A city official suggested using a 'library-card-esque system' to target New Yorkers, raising concerns about contradictions with Mamdani's opposition to voter ID laws. The mayor's spokesperson clarified that the system is a 'customer card' for inventory management, not identity verification.
