Conservatives cite Olive Garden's photo ID requirement for pasta pass to advocate for voter ID laws.
Olive Garden's Never-Ending Pasta Pass, which requires customers to present a valid photo ID to redeem, sparked a debate after conservative figures and Republican officials drew comparisons to U.S. election security. Republicans used the restaurant's policy to argue that voting requires less identification than obtaining pasta and to call for the passage of the SAVE America Act. The SAVE America Act, which would mandate photo ID and proof of citizenship for voting, has passed the House but faces obstacles in the Senate.
