So we passed something today through the House called the SAVE act, which simply means you have to have some identification when you register to vote. Nothing wrong with that. And I think Most Americans, statistically, on all polls, you know, favor doing this [requiring identification to vote]. You get on an airplane, guess what, you show a driver's license, you go down to vote, you should have some sort of acceptable identification. Doesn't have to be a driver's license. (03:54–04:02)
