CPAC Strongly Supports National Voter ID Requirements to Safeguard Election Integrity and Strengthen American Democracy

Presented by CPAC Board Member Jerry Daniels.

CPAC strongly demands the implementation of strict nationwide photo voter ID as the essential safeguard of election integrity and democracy. Requiring government-issued photo identification at the polls is not voter suppression but common sense that every legitimate democracy uses to ensure only eligible citizens vote.

Voter ID is the global standard, with 176 countries and jurisdictions requiring it, including every nation in Africa, all 12 countries in South America, nearly all of Europe, and Canada. The few U.S. states that still refuse any voter ID requirement are all Socialist/Democrat-controlled strongholds, such as California, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts, revealing exactly who benefits from weaker verification and eroded public trust.

CPAC calls on the Republican majority in the United States Senate to take the necessary steps to immediately pass the SAVE Act. No more smoke and mirrors, no more excuses, no more bait and switch. We strongly endorse the efforts of Senator Mike Lee to bring a sense of fairness and sanity to the Senate by requiring a filibuster to live up to its definition. It's time for Senators to not merely threaten their opposition to Democratic norms but to demonstrate that they have the physical and emotional stamina to stand in the well of the Senate for days and weeks, to explain to the American people and the other 176 Democracies that election cheating is ok. Senator Thune, pass the Save America Act now.
