## Resource

Olive Garden accidentally entered the voter ID debate after requiring customers to show photo ID for its Never-Ending Pasta Pass. Conservatives quickly pointed out the irony: some say a restaurant requires more ID for unlimited breadsticks than some states require to vote. Senator Mike Lee, the RNC, and others amplified the comparison as the SAVE America Act debate continues. Remember: South Florida votes August 18th.
