Summary
Abigail Jackson used a Newsmax appearance to argue for Trump’s SAVE America Act, saying Olive Garden protects its never-ending pasta pass more seriously than Democrats protect elections.

Critics say those document rules could block eligible voters who lack easy access to a birth certificate or passport, turning the fight into a voting-rights dispute as well as a security debate.
Sen. Kevin Cramer said last week the measure does not have enough votes to pass, leaving the White House to press its case through media appearances and social-media-friendly attacks.
