Democrat Senator Mark Warner got fact-checked on live TV about voter ID amid a debate over President Trump’s push for the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act.
President Trump on Thursday evening delivered a primetime address to the nation about foreign election interference.
The president revealed:
– The DHS found approximately 278,000 non-citizens on the voter rolls
– China accessed 220 million US voter files and the Deep State withheld that information from Trump
– China targeted President Trump during the 2020 election by paying media outlets to write negative stories about him
At the end of his speech, President Trump urged Americans to call their representatives and demand that they pass the SAVE America Act.
The US must secure its elections. It is a matter of national security.
“To all Americans, I ask you to pick up your phone tomorrow, call your representatives and the House and Senate, and demand that they pass the SAVE America Act without delay,” President Trump said.
Mark Warner got called out about his voter ID lies during an appearance on ABC’s “This Week.”
“You and every other Democrat oppose the SAVE America Act… requiring photo ID to register to vote, is this Democrats should get behind?” Jon Karl asked Mark Warner.
“In Virginia, we have voter ID and photo ID!” Mark Warner said.
This is a lie.
Virginia currently allows voters to present non-photo identification, such as copies of utilities and bank statements, as an accepted form of ID.
Virginia voters can also sign an ID statement affirming their identity.
Jon Karl fact-checked Mark Warner.
“That’s actually not the case. I’m a Virginia voter. You don’t need to show a photo ID in Virginia,” Jon Karl said, adding, “And if you don’t show one of those you can sign an affidavit…”
