Co-Hosts Correct Whoopi Goldberg on Voter ID During SAVE Act Segment

The on-air correction highlights state-by-state ID differences in the SAVE Act fight.

Overview

  • The View segment, which aired Tuesday, featured Whoopi Goldberg saying voters must show a driver’s license, and co-hosts Sunny Hostin and Sara Haines replying that New York does not require ID at the polls.
  • The exchange came during a discussion of the SAVE Act, a Republican-backed proposal supported by President Trump to require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections.
  • The bill has passed the House and still needs action in the Senate.
  • Hostin said the Trump administration is suing states to obtain voter registration data and warned that the records include very personal details.
  • Mediaite framed the moment as an on-air correction, while Fox News described a rebuke, reflecting how outlets cast the SAVE Act debate for their audiences.
