pressed Congress to pass a law that would overhaul some of the way voting works.

And in particular, it would require voters to provide proof of citizenship in order to register to vote.

And that's something that has passed the House, but has been stuck in the Senate.

And he has been very frustrated by his inability to get them to get it any further.

They think that this law is too sweeping and wouldn't solve the problem.

If you talk about providing proof of citizenship, first of all, there is no problem.

There is not widespread non-citizen voting.

And there have been years of efforts to try to find it, and it has not produced evidence that this is a widespread problem, certainly not on the scale to change elections.

And I think some of these senators are hearing from Republican election officials back home in their states who are saying, we don't have the time or the wherewithal to do this before the November election.

If we try to switch the system now, it will create really serious chaos and be a problem.

And I think they're reluctant to do that, which is good.

I think there are a couple things.

One is privacy, as you say.

This is, you know, full of identifiable information, social security numbers, addresses, all sorts of other things.

And it's not clear how the federal government would store this information, what sort of information security it has.

I think, you know, it's a sort of basic privacy concern in that respect.

And it's related to that some voter advocates are afraid that this will intimidate people into not wanting to vote or not wanting to register to vote.

The other question is what they will do with this in terms of non-citizen voting.

So we have seen in the past efforts to match voter rolls against other databases to prove that there are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands or who knows how many ineligible voters who are voting.

And we've seen this happen a bunch of times.
