Olive Garden's ID Rule Has Conservatives Roasting Democrats Over Election Security Amid Heated Debate
President Donald Trump has urged Congress to address the "crisis" of election security, calling for the passage of the SAVE Act. The issue has sparked a debate over voter ID requirements, with conservatives drawing comparisons to a restaurant's photo ID policy. Olive Garden's Never-Ending Pasta Pass requires customers to present a valid photo ID matching the name on the pass, prompting conservatives to argue that the policy is stricter than voting laws in some Democrat-led states.
Fourteen states and Washington, D.C., do not require most voters to present identification when voting in person. The SAVE Act includes voter ID and citizenship verification measures that Republicans say are key to ensuring election security. Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita and Utah Sen. Mike Lee are among those who have called for the passage of the SAVE America Act, citing the need for secure elections.
Conservatives have taken to social media to argue that if photo ID is required for a restaurant promotion, it should also be required for voting. The official RNC Election Integrity account and Arizona Rep. Eli Crane have also weighed in on the issue, calling for the passage of the SAVE America Act. President Trump addressed the nation on Thursday, urging Congress to pass the legislation and restore faith in the country's elections.
