Senate Republicans

LYIN’ CHUCK: less than a week ago, Senator Schumer said Senate Democrats support voter ID. Yet, Senate Democrats just blocked @SenJonHusted’s standalone voter ID provision.

Nothing is more fundamental than the integrity & security of our elections. An overwhelming majority of Americans, including 71% of Democrats, want voter ID. It’s time to listen to the American people and pass the SAVE America Act.

The only reason @SenSchumer opposes the SAVE America Act is because he’s scared it’ll cost him the majority. He was totally fine supporting legislation to require a Real ID years ago, but when it comes to our elections, suddenly it’s the end of our democracy?! Give me a break!

Do you favor or oppose requiring people to show valid photo ID before they are permitted to vote? • Democrat: 65-35 (+30) • Republican: 95-5 (+90) • Independent: 79-21 (+58) • White: 80-20 (+60) • Black: 80-20 (+60) • Hispanic: 77-23 (+55) • SENATE DEMS: 0-100 (-100)

Tonight, I asked the Senate for unanimous consent to pass a simple voter ID requirement—something 83% of Americans support. Despite publicly stating their support for voter ID, Senate Democrats blocked its passage.

If you listen to Senator Schumer and the Democrats, you would believe the American people are dumb or incompetent- they are neither.   Democrats also think that noncitizens should be allowed to vote and that election fraudsters shouldn’t have to prove their identity.    On the behalf of the 32 million Texans I represent, I find these arguments deeply offensive. 🧵

Senate Democrats voted down a clean voter ID bill — nothing else attached. They’ve been exposed: they won’t stand up for safe, secure elections. The sanctity of democracy demands integrity.

The only place in America where proof of citizenship and voter ID are unpopular is the Senate Democratic Caucus.

Chuck Schumer and other Democrats have insisted that they actually support Voter ID—they just object to other parts of the SAVE America Act. Well, @SenJonHusted just asked unanimous consent to pass ONLY the Voter ID portion of the bill. Democrats blocked it.

Voter ID is common sense. It’s time to see if Democrats will put action behind their words.

We need an ID for standard everyday life—voting should be one of them.

The American people are not naive. They see what’s happening, and they’ve been asking us – DEMANDING of us – to do something about it. The SAVE America Act does something about it. It requires proof of citizenship to register and vote in federal elections. That’s not radical. That’s not voter suppression. That is a basic, common-sense safeguard that the majority of Americans support. My full release: hydesmith.senate.gov/hyde-smith-pro…

Only suppressed votes would be illegal votes. Maybe that’s why D’s object. 🤔

The SAVE Act is straightforward: prove citizenship, show an ID, and protect the integrity of our elections. This is about ensuring fair and secure elections for everyone. It’s just common sense. The Senate must pass the SAVE Act immediately.

Every single American citizen should have confidence in their voting system. The SAVE America Act allows for fair and just elections—the way they should always be.

Proud to stand with @SenMikeLee and my Republican colleagues to fight for free and fair elections for the American people. Let’s pass the SAVE America Act.

First Democrats flood our country with 15M+ illegal aliens, and now they claim merely asking people to prove they are a citizen before registering to vote is "suppression." When citizenship becomes optional at the ballot box, the republic itself becomes optional.

The Save America Act stops Democrats from turning America into a sanctuary country.

.@DHSgov has been shut down for over a month. The Democrats shut it down. They want to peel it apart. They refuse to reopen it. Meanwhile, we are seeing long security lines, missed paychecks, and multiple terrorist attacks on American soil.

We've had voter ID in Oklahoma for years. People still show up to vote. It's not crazy to say that this process should apply nationwide.
