KOLO: Horsford, Lee vote against SAVE Act

WASHINGTON DC (KOLO) - U.S. Democratic Representatives Susie Lee and Steven Horsford both voted against the SAVE Act in the House.

The SAVE Act would require proof of citizenship when registering to vote and require voters to produce a state issued photo ID, such as a driver’s license, to vote.

The bill passed through the House and heads to the Senate.

Lee, meanwhile, took to Twitter on Wednesday to voice her opposition to the bill.

In a three-minute address, Lee called the bill one that was intended to prevent millions of Americans from voting in election.

Lee said that she supports requiring ID to vote, but says the bill is a trick to make it harder to vote. She says that anyone who changes their address or party will be required to produce a birth certificate or a passport in person.
