The SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections, has been backed by Republicans but criticized by Democrats as voter suppression that could disenfranchise people who lack easy access to citizenship documents. Enten noted that voters across parties and races\u2014along with Nicki Minaj, who endorsed voter ID\u2014appear to favor photo ID. He cited poll figures showing about 85% of whites, 82% of Latinos, and 76% of Black Americans support voter ID. He argued that voter ID is not controversial in this country, by either party or race, and that the majority aligns with Minaj on the issue. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer labeled the SAVE Act as \u201cJim Crow 2.0\u201d during remarks on the Senate floor, while Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna pushed back, saying minority support for ID is being miscast as support for racist policies.
