Republicans claim Olive Garden pasta passes are more secure than US voting

Republicans, including Congressman Steve Scalise, are using a false equivalence to promote the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, claiming that voting in the United States is less secure than dining at Olive Garden. This argument stems from Olive Garden's recent 'Never-Ending Pasta Pass' promotion, which requires a personalized ID for use. While Scalise and other Republican leaders suggest this demonstrates the need for voter ID laws, voting rights experts argue that the SAVE Act would unnecessarily restrict access to voting for all Americans.
