“we spent the weeks before Easter debating the SAVE America Act here in the Senate. And since the debate began, we have seen Democrats contort themselves every which way to justify opposing the commonsense policies in this bill. On no issue is that more evident than voter ID. Polls show that 80 percent of Americans support voter ID. Majorities of Americans in both parties support this commonsense requirement, but among Democrats here in the Senate, it is a different story. Sure, Democrats have spent the last few weeks claiming that they support voter ID, but when it came time to vote on a reasonable, stand-alone voter ID proposal, every Democrat opposed it. That is right. Senate Democrats have been trying to rebrand themselves as supporters of voter ID, but when Republicans offered a straightforward voter ID proposal, every single Democrat in the Senate voted against it. I want to be clear about what Republicans put forward and what Democrats opposed. Senator Husted--someone who knows quite a bit about administering elections as the former two-term chief election official in the State of Ohio--offered a very simple voter ID amendment. The only--only--thing it did requires a photo ID at the polls: A driver's license, Tribal ID, military ID, veteran ID, passport, the types of IDs that are sitting in wallets right now and that the American people use on a regular basis. That is it.…”
