Virginia does not require voters to present a photo ID in order to vote.The exchange occurred after Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, spent several minutes attacking Trump\u2019s election security policies, arguing foreign adversaries such as Russia, Iran, North Korea, and China continue to pose cyber threats to American elections.\u00a0Warner argued that Republicans were using the issue to suppress turnout through the SAVE America Act. \u201cThe SAVE Act is about voter disenfranchisement,\u201d Warner said. \u201cThe SAVE Act is going to take anybody that changed their name when they got married. They don\u2019t get to vote unless they go back and find [proof of a name change].\u201dWarner also argued that some Republican-led states permit voters to use gun-related identification while refusing to accept student IDs. \u201cThe irony here would be the case if you can show any photo that is government stamped would be fine,\u201d Warner said. \u201cCertain states will say we\u2019re going to let you show your \u2026 NRA gun license but you can\u2019t show your student ID.\u201dWhile some states do accept certain handgun carry permits as valid identification, a majority of those same states also permit qualifying student IDs for voting under specified circumstances.","og_url":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1425","og_site_name":"Blue Route Journal","article_published_time":"2026-07-20T04:10:55+00:00","author":"admin","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"admin","Est. reading time":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1425#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1425"},"author":{"name":"admin","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/#\/schema\/person\/19da116f8d79cf8987781569801c6b7c"},"headline":"Top Democrat Doesn\u2019t Know His Own State\u2019s Voter ID Policy","datePublished":"2026-07-20T04:10:55+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1425"},"wordCount":553,"commentCount":0,"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1425#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/5b0f9d2ac1a3d2b12f5fc42a010b7c2d.avif","articleSection":["News"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1425#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1425","url":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1425","name":"Top Democrat Doesn\u2019t Know His Own State\u2019s Voter ID Policy -
