Speaker Johnson: This is a SERIOUS threat

Published | Video Starts at 04:41

Is he willing to accept that version, or does he want everything else? What's packed in the Senate version? I think our version is the main, sort of the backbone of that. The House version, yes. He would like to add the prohibition of mail in balloting, except for exceptions like if somebody is deployed overseas or they're ill or can't get to the polling place. But he understands that one is a bigger reach if we can get proof of citizenship and photo ID to vote. (04:41–04:50)
