Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski Vows to Defeat the SAVE Act, Voter ID and Election Bill​

It should not come as a surprise to see the Senator who lost her 2010 primary, then refused to leave congress and ran as a write in candidate; then supported changing the state voting system to a ranked choice structure; who then lost again in 2022 but ultimately won because Democrats all listed her as their second choice in the new structure; come out against anything that would lead to stronger voting requirements.

Alaska Senator Lisa Murkowski has now pledged to vote against the SAVE Act. The SAVE Act would bar states from registering a person to vote unless they provide documents or evidence proving U.S. citizenship. It would also require all Americans to present ID when they go to vote. The SAVE Act is supported by President Trump and strongly opposed by GOPe members of the UniParty.

The legislation, introduced by Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, has 48 GOP cosponsors and Trump has repeatedly called on Congress to pass it in recent days. Even if it gains a majority of the chamber, it is subject to the 60-vote threshold, and Democrats have vowed to block it.

I dont want people voting illegally.

But I am having a hard time getting behind voter id laws. I despise gun permits of any kind, and my struggle is with having another one of my rights restricted by requiring an id.

Can someone make an argument that the government mandating more reasons to prove id is a good thing?

If we had had un corrupted elections for the last seventy years there wouldn't be second amendment problems.

Do you know anyone over the age of 18 that does not have some form of government issued ID. ? The liberal talking point against voter ID is most black folks have not a clue on how to obtain one. ... This is an outright lie. Look to India for voting results ... One day voting can be done.
There is massive voter fraud in this country. ... We can complain about our gun rights being trampled upon... We will never get them back until we get fair elections . One thing I would like is have a national election day for this country ... One day off of all work just to vote. ... And only that day.

Conversely, will you make argument(s) on why it isn't a good thing?

Keep in mind back in old 1776 people knew who you were in your voting places.
I'm sure voting was rigged back then too.

I shouldnt need id to exercise my rights. But can you make an argument why I should?

Perhaps no one should need to identify themselves, Guns being a primary focus here I revert to the days before the GCA of 1968 when buying a gun wasn't anymore complex than buying a Broom and Shovel.
I DO think there needs to be some sort of unambiguous means to insure no one votes more than once and that they are eligible to vote...Not that NY is free from voter fraud, the system we use seems to be pretty solid unless Poll Workers conspire to commit Fraud, which in a small location is unlikely.
Somewhere in SW Asia, there was a story about the emergence of Elections where previously they were a sham, voters dipped their finger in a purple indelible ink to signify they voted...How about a Finger print reader where you simply place a digit and it's matched against the database? Sounds good, until it gets back to the Fraud we have now with Electronic Voting Machines and the virtually daily proof that someone fucked with the results...No matter how good the encryption, people with or without authorization can and have gotten into these machines.
I wonder if Students still have to present ID before being allowed to take certain Tests? I had to.
Not being argumentative or dismissive, only trying to figure out why showing an identification, something virtually every American Adult but Rip Wheeler has.

Appreciate the response, I think part of my issue is that no matter what system we come up with their will be a work around and the good people are still stuck with even more restrictions on our rights. I have very little trust in our govt, i feel it is far too corrupt to earn my trust. In practicality it wouldnt take much to show my license when i go vote, afterall i need to drive there anyway. But when states gives licenses to people who arent citizens, how does that help us? There are many ways people can get govt ids from multiple states too.
Its the incremental creep that concerns me, just like with our gun rights. Next thing you know ill need to show my govt id when crossing state lines. The powerful people that run the world frame issues in a way so that we support our own loss of freedom. Im not looking to play their game so thats why I asked the question. Facial recognition, finger prints, etc... the cats already out of the bag, but i dont like it. As it pertains to gun rights look at how the AFT created a gun owner database even though it is illegal to do so. The law doesnt matter to them, they are all above it, and we suffer the loss of freedom.

Very simple, the words "shall not be infringed" appear only once and yet look at what has happened to our 2nd Amendment. With that in mind why wouldn't you be 'all in' for the use of a voter ID?

What has happened to the 2nd Amendment is EXACTLY why I cant get behind any laws that diminish my rights or freedoms. When you willingly give the govt the authority to have an inch, they will ABSOLUTELY take a mile.

This famous quote from Ben Franklin describes how I see this.

Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

I believe you to be right, which is why such a majority of the Country voted for and elected Trump, we're sick of being cheated at the Polls, we've don't want our Streets and Neighborhoods flooded with People who take without assimilation, that many of the Laws governing guns are unconstitutional bullshit, and all these changes the Left is howling about are a result of their failed policies and desire to implement them with force.
Perhaps wiping the Voter Rolls clean and requiring a new Registration supported by positive identification is in order?
One or two elections with ID then letting things settle back to an Honest System?
I wonder how many People do shit like vote in one State, then travel South for the Winter and vote again there? (assuming Mail In Ballots) Trump clearly warned us about the subversive democrat machine, too bad he wasn't able to stop it...maybe that four year pause opened the eyes of people that though they were doing the lords work throwing the election...doesn't matter what happened, only what we do going forward.

I like the concept of proving who you are to vote. I'm not one for extra costs and enforcement is problematic, but how about indelable ink on the right forefinger to vote?
You can still lie about who you are but you get one vote as it should be.

Schumer: ‘MAGA Right’ Doesn’t Want Poor People or People of Color to Vote​

Schumer said, “We have the voter ID laws that, first, each state can have its own voter ID laws, and some do and some don’t. But secondly, what they are proposing in this so-called SAVE Act is like Jim Crow 2.0. They make it so hard to get any kind of voter ID that more than 20 million legitimate people, mainly poor people and people of color, will not be able to vote under this law. We will not let it pass in the Senate. We are fighting it tooth and nail. It’s an outrageous proposal that is, you know, that shows the sort of political bias of the MAGA right. They don’t want poor people to vote. They don’t want people of color to vote because they often don’t vote for them.”

Thankfully if one is too poor to have ID (which is bullshit itself) that person had one of these government IDs.
