Connecticut Democrats take photo ID really seriously — just not for voting

Republican Connecticut state Rep. Craig Fishbein said in a statement to Blaze News, “The hypocrisy and overt priorities of the Majority Democrats here are staggering.”
“While just last summer, Connecticut saw criminal convictions for voter fraud; they brought us in under the guise of an emergency session to pass this bottle bill, while continuing to ignore, or perhaps support additional voter fraud — thereby disenfranchising those voters who properly vote, and further diminishing faith in the system itself,” Fishbein added.
The editorial board of Connecticut’s Republican-American recently noted that “Connecticut Democrats’ solution to the bottle-deposit debacle reveals they agree that requiring ID is an effective anti-fraud measure. The question is why they pretend elections are the exception.”
The SAVE America Act, which would afford federal elections some semblance of a Connecticut bottle recycling standard of fraud protection, was passed in the House in a 218-213 vote on Feb. 11, then advanced to the U.S. Senate on April 10, but its fate is presently up in the air.
On Sunday, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) alleged that “after two weeks in recess, John Thune is no longer considering the SAVE America Act.”
A congressional insider familiar with the bill’s process subsequently told the Federalist that the proposed legislation is “still the pending business in the Senate.”
