Advertisement“I’ve heard support for it from Senate Democrats and the American people,” said Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH), who sponsored the provision he called “commonsense.”
“But when given the chance to make it the national standard, Senate Democrats representing 9 states that already have some form of voter ID — and the rest of their caucus — voted against it.”
The legislation would amend the Help America Vote Act of 2002 to create federal photo ID standards for in-person and vote-by-mail.
A major target for Republicans and voter ID requirements is Ossoff, who is facing Rep. Mike Collins (D-GA) in a purple state.
“Sorry, @PressSec — the SAVE Act will never pass the United States Senate,” Schumer responded.
