CNN host Jake Tapper pressed Democratic California Sen. Alex Padilla on Wednesday, pointing out the wide range of acceptable identification options under the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.

Most Republican lawmakers support the SAVE America Act’s nationwide voter ID mandate, but Democrats actively oppose the measure. During an appearance on “The Lead,” Tapper said that, while political messaging on the bill is heated, the law itself allows multiple forms of proof of citizenship for voting.
