Republicans in the Senate are arguing over the SAVE America Act — common-sense legislation that would require voter ID and proof of citizenship in federal elections. Numerous polls demonstrate that such laws are overwhelmingly popular among American voters. But while some RINOs are reportedly blocking legitimate efforts to advance the legislation, voters in deep blue California are taking matters into their own hands to safeguard their elections against fraud.
After a months-long, grassroots-driven campaign, GOP State Assemblymember Carl DeMaio and other proponents submitted signatures for the California Voter ID Initiative on Monday. The proposal, which DeMaio said garnered more than 1.3 million signatures, would amend the state’s constitution to require voter ID “for all future elections in California.”
