独家报道：前副总统迈克·彭斯表示，全国性选民身份证法律”确实是一个时机已到的想法”。
在接受福克斯新闻数字频道独家采访时，彭斯敦促参议院”让选民身份证成为所有50个州的法律”。参议院目前正在辩论《SAVE美国法案》（SAVE America Act），该法案得到了彭斯前上司唐纳德·特朗普总统的强烈支持。
《SAVE法案》（Safeguard American Voter Eligibility，保护美国选民资格）于2月在共和党控制的众议院以几乎全党派投票通过，但在参议院陷入停滞。参议院共和党人占53-47的多数席位，远未达到通过该法案所需的60票门槛。
该联邦法案将要求全国范围内严格的选民身份证和公民身份证明要求。共和党人表示，该法案对于确保选举完整性是必要的。

“我认为要求我们的选民在投票站出示带照片的身份证或证明美国公民身份，仅仅是一个时机已到的想法，”彭斯强调说。
这位前印第安纳州州长补充道：”我很自豪，15年前，印第安纳州是最早通过选民身份证法律的州之一。该法律一路上诉至美国最高法院并得到支持，成为全国许多州的模范立法。”
虽然民调显示绝大多数美国人——无论政治派别——支持在投票站出示选民身份证并防止非公民在联邦选举中投票，但民主党人认为该法案是不必要的，因为公民身份本身就是投票的要求，而且非公民投票的情况极为罕见。

民主党人和投票权组织还指控，该联邦法案会造成不必要的障碍，使选民更难投票。纽约州资深参议院民主党领袖查克·舒默参议员将《SAVE法案》描述为”《吉姆·克劳法》2.0版”。
彭斯指出：”根据宪法，选举的时间、地点和方式由各州管辖。但根据我们的宪法，联邦政府有能力设定某些条件和参数，我相信《SAVE法案》完全在国会的宪法权限范围内。”

前副总统通过其政策和倡导组织”推进美国自由”（Advancing American Freedom）上个月敦促国会通过该法案。
彭斯在接受福克斯新闻数字频道采访时重申了他的立场，指出：”自《SAVE美国法案》首次提出以来，我们一直支持它，并且将继续支持。我敦促参议院的每一位成员搁置政治分歧，投票恢复美国人民对选举完整性的信心。”
参议院共和党人将《SAVE法案》视为特朗普支持法案失败的指责游戏
五年前，彭斯驳回了总统关于2020年总统选举存在大规模选民欺诈的无证据指控，并认证了前总统乔·拜登的选举人团胜利，这激怒了特朗普的支持者。2021年1月6日美国国会大厦骚乱期间，一些暴徒高呼”绞死迈克·彭斯”，导致认证过程中断数小时。

“我们都记得六年前的选举争议。我们看到一些州在新冠疫情期间突然改变计票规则，”彭斯回忆道。”从未有任何证据表明存在会改变选举结果的大规模欺诈行为，但这破坏了公众信心，也是我们强烈支持全国各州选举改革的原因之一。”

EXCLUSIVE: Former Vice President Mike Pence says that a national voter ID law “is truly an idea whose time has come.”
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Pence urged the Senate to “make voter ID the law of the land in all 50 states.” The Senate is currently debating the SAVE America Act, which is strongly championed by Pence’s former boss, President Donald Trump.
The SAVE Act, which stands for Safeguard American Voter Eligibility, narrowly passed the GOP-controlled House in February mostly along party lines. But it’s stalled in the Senate, where Republicans hold a 53-47 majority in the chamber, far short of the 60-vote threshold needed to pass the bill.
The federal bill would require strict voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements across the country. Republicans say the bill is necessary to secure election integrity.

“I think requiring our voters to show photo ID at the ballot box or prove American citizenship is simply an idea whose time has come,” Pence emphasized.
And the former Indiana governor added, “I’m proud of the fact that the state of Indiana, 15 years ago, was one of the first states to adopt voter ID laws. Went all the way to the Supreme Court of the United States and was upheld. It became model legislation for many states around the country.”
While polls indicate the vast majority of Americans — regardless of the political affiliation — support voter IDs at the polls and preventing noncitizens from voting in federal elections, Democrats argue the bill is not needed, since citizenship is already a requirement to vote and instances of noncitizen voting are rare.

Democrats and voting rights groups also charge that the federal bill would create unnecessary barriers, making it harder for voters to cast a ballot. And longtime Senate Democratic leader Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York has framed the SAVE Act as “Jim Crow 2.0.”
Pence noted that “the time, place and manner of elections under the Constitution is governed by the states. But the federal government has, under our Constitution, the ability to set certain conditions and parameters, and I believe the Save ACT falls well within the constitutional prerogative of the Congress.”

The former vice president, through his policy and advocacy organization Advancing American Freedom, last month urged Congress to pass the bill.
Pence reiterated his stance in his Fox News Digital interview, noting, “We have championed the SAVE America Act since it was first introduced, and will continue to. I’d urge every member of the Senate to set politics aside, cast a vote to restore public confidence in election integrity in this country.”
SENATE GOP EYES BLAME GAME AS TRUMP-BACKED SAVE ACT HEADED FOR DEFEAT
Pence earned the ire of Trump’s supporters five years ago, when he dismissed the president’s unproven claims of massive voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election and certified former President Joe Biden’s electoral college victory. The certification was upended for hours by the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol, during which some of the rioters chanted “Hang Mike Pence.”

“We all remember the election controversies of six years ago. We saw states that literally changed the rules in the midst of COVID for how votes would be counted,” Pence recollected. “There was never any evidence of widespread fraud that would change the outcome of the election, but it undermined public confidence, and it’s one of the reasons we’ve strongly supported election reform in states across the country.”

And the former vice president reiterated, “I truly do believe that making sure the American people have confidence that those that are voting are citizens of this country, and that voter ID becomes the law of the land is truly an idea whose time has come.”
