“Interesting – Every Single Democrat Voted Against Voter ID, Even Though 83% of Voters Want It” (VIDEO) * The Gateway Pundit * by David Greyson

Senator Marsha Blackburn was on “Sunday Morning Futures” with host Maria Bartiromo to talk about her campaign to be the next Governor of Tennessee. Blackburn is the Republican nominee and is running against Democrat Jerri Green after she won her primary race last week.

“Tennessee Senator Marsha Blackburn, welcome to you. Congratulations, Senator,” Bartiromo said.

“Thank you. It is such an honor and, I really am humbled and grateful to have that Republican nomination for Governor, and look forward to winning in November,” Blackburn said.

“Tennesseans know I have a history of delivering for them, Maria, whether it is fighting crime and working in Memphis to make it a safer place, or working on technology, protecting kids, protecting parents, and protecting our families,” Blackburn continued.

“We should be the nuclear energy leader of the United States here in Tennessee, so, we are looking forward to putting that experience to work for Tennesseans in the Governor’s office,” Blackburn said.

“What is happening in the Senate? You’ve got to tell us what the pushback is for the SAVE America Act.” Bartiromo asked.

After the first week of August, the US Senate is on recess until mid September without passing the wildly popular SAVE America Act to save US elections.

“Now all of that will have to be picked up in September. Can you tell us about the weekend in terms of what you were able to get done and not get done?” Bartiromo asked.

“We got 95 percent of all of his appointees that are ready. They are now done. That is good news for President Trump and the administration. We also got a CR through so that we will not have another government shutdown,” Blackburn said.

“We got a floor vote on just show an ID when you go to vote,” Blackburn said.

“We think we are going to have to break the SAVE America Act into pieces. Take them one at a time,” Blackburn continued.

“The interesting thing was every single Democrat voted against showing an ID, even though 83 percent of the American people and 71 percent of all Democrats think you ought to have to show that ID, but we are committed to still doing this. You show an ID, you prove that you are a citizen,” Blackburn explained.

“My bill, which incentivizes states to check their voter roll against that DHS SAVE system, which is the listing of people that are in the country, but are not citizens,” Blackburn continued.
