Acting AG Todd Blanche Advocates for National Voter ID Requirements
Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche has sparked discussion by comparing voter ID requirements to the need to show ID at restaurants or clubs. During an appearance on NBC's 'Meet the Press,' Blanche promoted the idea of requiring ID to vote, aligning with the SAVE Act, which mandates proof of citizenship to register and a photo ID to vote. This legislation, supported by President Trump's administration, has passed the House but is stalled in the Senate. Blanche's analogy has been criticized for oversimplifying the complexities of voter ID laws, as the documentation required to register to vote is more restrictive than showing ID for age verification at clubs.
