More than 80% of Americans support the Save America Act, its voter identification and citizenship requirements. Pew Research Center (August 2025) found that 83% of U.S. adults favored requiring government-issued photo ID to vote, including 95% of Republicans and 71% of Democrats. Similarly, a Gallup poll (October 2024) showed 84% of U.S. adults supported photo ID requirements, with 67% of Democrats, 84% of independents, and 98% of Republicans in favor.

Voter identification is a requirement in almost every western country, and most of the rest. At least 176 countries and jurisdictions require some form of identification to vote, according to multiple sources including the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (IDEA) and research cited in 2021 and 2026.

Of the 47 European nations, all but one require a government-issued photo ID. Countries like Mexico, India, France, Germany, and Brazil issue free, universal national or biometric voter IDs as part of standard civic infrastructure.

Most of us on the right believe that the resistance to voter id. in the United States boils down to ease of voter fraud that strongly benefits the Democrat party. Today I ran across this:

The 47 Senate Democrats who voted against the universal photo ID requirement represent 23 states.

These 23 states counted 36,942,355 mail-in ballots.

In all 23 states, no photo ID was required for the vast majority of these ballots.
