An unidentified speaker urged Republicans and Democrats to pass the Save Act and make voter identification a requirement for voting, saying the proposal has broad public support.
"I will reiterate, requirement for voter ID to vote," the Unidentified Speaker said, later adding, "That should be something that no American, should oppose." The speaker also claimed "the vast majority of Americans support it."
The speaker proposed a related change to registration rules: "Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote, which is not hard to do. We should be able to do that in this country," and reiterated, "If you want to register to vote in The United States Of America, you have to be a citizen in The United States Of America." These statements framed the Save Act as both an eligibility and a procedural reform.
