Even election officials who like voter ID have issues with the SAVE America Act
Deidre Holden believes voters should prove their citizenship and show identification before they can cast a ballot.
“Do I think there needs to be mechanisms in place to make sure that noncitizens are not voting? Absolutely,” said Holden, the director of elections in Paulding County, Georgia. “Do I think you need to have a photo ID? Absolutely.”
But Holden, a nonpartisan appointee who is currently busy overseeing the special election to replace former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in Georgia’s ruby red 14th congressional district, does not support the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE) America Act. At least, she says, not without pushing the law’s immediately-upon-enactment effective date back far enough to give election administrators like her time to implement the new policies without accidentally disenfranchising someone.
“With election law, you need to give the states time to put those laws into place, train the people on them, get the voters educated on it,” she said. “You don’t need to rush into something like this.”
