Schumer Calls GOP Voting Bill 'Jim Crow 2.0', Despite Broad Democratic Support for Similar Measure

Sen. Chuck Schumer doubled down on labeling the GOP's Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act as 'Jim Crow 2.0', despite strong Democratic voter support for the bill, which aims to increase voter ID requirements and registration deadlines. The comparison drew criticism from some Democrats who argue it unfairly stigmatizes the legislation. Schumer's comments came after an interview on Sunday in which he was pressed on his views on the bill. The SAVE Act has garnered significant bipartisan backing in the Senate.
