U.S. Senator Katie Britt Joins SAVE America Act Press Conference
‘This isn’t a Republican issue, this is an American issue.’
WASHINGTON, D.C. — U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) joined a press conference in support of passing the SAVE America Act with Senators Mike Lee (R-Utah), Rick Scott (R-Fla.), Jon Husted (R-Ohio), and James Lankford (R-Okla.).
On voter ID laws—a commonsense, bipartisan priority to ensure free and fair elections:
“This isn’t a Republican issue, this is an American issue. When you look at the polling, it is wildly popular amongst Republicans, amongst independents and amongst Democrats. When you see something like that, I think it’s incumbent upon us to actually do something … And that’s exactly what Senator Lee has does with the SAVE America Act. And today we talk about the heart of that … [W]e want to make sure Americans have faith and their elections. We want to make sure that they are free, fair and secure. If Americans don’t have faith, it undermines the very pillars that hold up our democracy. And we know the best way to do that is to require it. We do it in the great state of Alabama…because we also understand that it is fundamental to actually achieving the American Dream.”
Republican Senator Claims You Can’t Shovel Snow in NYC Without ID
Republican Senator Katie Britt tried to claim that New York City requires identification to shovel show in an attempt to defend the SAVE Act Thursday.
At a press conference on Capitol Hill, the Alabama politician tried to argue that because many regular parts of daily life require people to produce identification, Republicans’ extreme voter ID bill is just par for the course.
“You can’t rent a home, you can’t go to work, you can’t shovel snow in New York City without an ID, and you can’t get into [Senator] Jon Ossoff’s campaign event. So, I’m pretty sure as we look to try to achieve the American dream, whether that’s getting insurance, whether that’s getting a car, whether that’s signing your kid up for school, you need an ID,” Britt said.

Alabama Senators Push For Stricter Voter ID Laws Amid Election Integrity Debate
Republicans in congress claim the SAVE America Act, would strengthen election integrity, but Democrats argue it could make it harder for millions of Americans to vote. The measure has already passed the U.S. House, and its future now rests with the U.S. Senate, where both Alabama U.S. Senators are vocal backers of the bill pushed by the Trump Administration.
If passed, voters would be required to provide two forms of identification at the polls, such as a passport and birth certificate. The bill would also require people to register to vote in person.
Alabama would be forced to change its current law that only requires one form of identification and allows voter registration online or by mail.
