Conservatives Compare Olive Garden ID Policy to Voter ID
Commercial ID policies used to debate the SAVE Act.
Event Overview
Conservative figures and a White House spokesperson have compared Olive Garden's photo ID requirement for its 'Never-Ending Pasta Pass' to election security. They argue it is absurd that a restaurant promotion is more secure than voting in 14 states and D.C. that do not require ID. This comparison is being used to advocate for the SAVE America Act, while critics argue the analogy is illogical and the act could disenfranchise voters.
