Political Quotes

“this week, the Senate took an important step by beginning debate on the SAVE America Act--a commonsense piece of legislation that safeguards our elections by implementing voter ID requirements and ensuring that only U.S. citizens are eligible to vote in our elections. This is not a controversial idea. In fact, recent polling shows that over 70 percent of Americans support the bill. Let me try that one more time. Over 70 percent of Americans support this bill. That means Republicans, Democrats, and Independents--over 70 percent. That means that the American people agree that only eligible citizens should vote in our elections. It means the American people support voter ID as a reasonable and responsible safeguard. People want integrity--voter integrity--at the ballot box. This is a pretty fundamental concept, which is why Americans overwhelmingly support it. The fact that you should have voter ID--just take voter ID. That is over 80 percent. I mean, think about it. ID to get into a government building, to get a fishing license, to rent a hotel room, to rent a car. I mean, come on. It just doesn't get any more fundamental; it doesn't make any more common sense.”
