Katie Britt promoted the SAVE America Act by saying New Yorkers need ID to shovel snow, a claim Crooks and Liars disputes. The article argues the bill’s identification requirements could restrict voting and criticizes Britt’s characterization of them.
Britt spoke in support of the SAVE America Act and said people could not shovel snow in New York City without ID. The article’s author says no such ID requirement applies to snow shoveling and describes Britt’s comparison as misleading.
