SAVE America Act Press Conference

Published | Video Starts at 12:17

Really perplexing why every other Democrat wanted to support voter fraud. That's really what you're supporting. If you voted no tonight, you're saying you're okay with voter fraud and that's a disgrace. Look at states that have done this. Georgia, they said all those same things, by the way, in the state of Georgia that passed a voter ID requirement. And what happened in the next election after you had actually higher voter participation. And in one part, I think it was because of the voter ID law, because then people had a higher confidence in their vote counting because they knew it was harder for somebody to cheat and steal because of the voter ID requirements. (12:17–12:29)
