“The View” co-host Whoopi Goldberg was scolded by her fellow hosts Tuesday after saying she had to present her driver’s license to vote during a discussion about the Voter Eligibility to Preserve America (SAVE) Act.
The SAVE Act, backed by President Donald Trump and GOP lawmakers, would require proof of citizenship to vote.
“I’m sorry, you have to show your ID when you go to vote. I always have to give them my driver’s license so they can make sure it’s me,” Goldberg said.
“You don’t have to do this in New York,” co-host Sunny Hostin said.

IN TWO DOZENS, THE REPUBLICAN WENT TO WAR WITH THE SENATE GOP OVER THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.
“I didn’t have to do this,” host Sara Haines added.
Co-host Joy Behar asked, “Don’t you?” he asked.
But Goldberg continued: “All this information is in the voter records.”

Hostin said the Trump administration is suing states for voter registration information, which he said is “very personal information.”
“Well, you know what? A lot of the information we give ourselves is very personal information, and that allowed them to come in and get information that you probably shouldn’t have given out. But I mean, it’s all in place. What is this? What’s this about? I don’t want to have to go get my stuff,” Goldberg replied.
Hostin said the GOP is pushing the SAVINGS Act because they don’t have good policy and are trying to cheat.

“If you don’t have good policies, you have to vote and cheat,” he said.
Democrats such as Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York have compared the SAVE Act to Jim Crow laws.

“I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: The SAVE Act would impose Jim Crow-like laws across the country, and it’s dead when it reaches the Senate,” Schumer said in February. “It’s a poison pill that will destroy any legislation it adheres to… The SAVE Act is reminiscent of Jim Crow-era laws and will extend them throughout America. Republicans want to reinstate Jim Crow and apply it from one end of this country to the other. That’s not going to happen.”
