Well, ladies and gentlemen, in the wee hours of the morning, Republicans actually tried to get the SAVE Act passed.

That's right. There was an attempt to attach it to must fund DHS legislation.

photo ID to vote. And again, this gave the state's wide latitude in order to assist voters in this

process because a lot of people are complaining, oh my gosh, I don't know where my passport is,
