ID to Vote! Checkmate.
Kevin McCullough
What Leader Thune is pulling right now isn’t just politics as usual — it’s strategic brilliance in a moment when checkers players think they’re playing chess. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has committed to forcing a vote on the SAVE America Act — legislation that would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register and voter ID at the polls — and in doing so he’s exposing the absurdity of Democratic obstruction in the face of overwhelming bipartisan public support.
On Fox News, Thune said bluntly:
“We will put the Democrats on the record! … And we will make sure the Democrats are on the record opposing the most basic requirement: ensuring only American citizens vote in our elections.”
That is not only political tempo — that is bold constitutional leadership.
Here’s where the chessboard gets set up: across virtually every demographic and political persuasion, Americans overwhelmingly back voter ID and basic proof of citizenship standards. Polling shows that 84% of registered voters support requiring photo ID to vote. That support is nearly universal among Republicans, but it also includes a strong majority of independents and, yes, even Democrats.
