Byron Donalds didn’t mince words on Monday’s Ed Henry “The Big Take,” telling hardworking Americans what many of us already know: the left’s opposition to commonsense voter ID is pure political theater. He told Ed Henry he would back a presidential executive order requiring voter ID if Congress won’t act, and he made clear that Florida’s long-standing voter ID rules have worked without incident.
Republicans in the House moved to answer those concerns by passing the SAVE America Act, legislation that would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections and impose a national photo ID requirement when voting. The bill cleared the House on February 11, 2026, in a narrow, mostly party-line vote as congressional Republicans pushed to restore basic trust in our elections.
Donalds was crystal clear about why this matters: when elections are sacred, there must be safeguards that ensure only Americans cast ballots, and Florida’s model—treating ballots like evidence—proves it can be done without trampling on legitimate voters. He told Newsmax he’d support a Trump executive order on voter ID and pushed back on the “fear mongering” from the political left that pretends integrity and access are mutually exclusive.
Let’s call out the hypocrisy for what it is. Democrats who oppose the SAVE Act frequently enforce strict ID checks at their own events and insist on credentials when it suits them, yet scream “voter suppression” when the rest of the country asks for basic verification at the ballot box. That double standard doesn’t convince anyone who wants fair play and honest elections.
Predictably, the left and the media are shrieking that this is modern-day Jim Crow and that millions would be disenfranchised—talking points designed to distract from the real issue: ensuring one person, one vote, for Americans only. Legal challenges and Senate hurdles are certain, but throwing up roadblocks doesn’t change the core truth that secure elections are the foundation of our republic.
If we’re serious about protecting our country and the franchise of lawful voters, we should stand with leaders like Byron Donalds who refuse to cower before the left’s intimidation tactics. It’s time for bold action, not performative outrage—because American patriots will not surrender their ballots to chaos or to those who game the system for political gain.
