66% : Two Colorado Republicans in Congress, Reps. Lauren Boebert of Windsor and Jeff Crank of Colorado Springs, are sponsors of SAVE Act.
48% : "States really just need to resist these attempts to override state and federal law through the ongoing legal challenges, and we just really need states to reassert their right to control their own elections and the core of what our democracy is," Belknap said.

26% : "The United States has always led the world in conducting free and fair elections, and we cannot let Donald Trump end that legacy.
26% : Spencer said the SAVE Act includes some provisions Trump tried to address with his executive order related to citizenship and voting machine verification, but it's not quite as far reaching.
19% : " López said Trump intentionally spreads misinformation -- particularly the false claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen -- to undermine voters and create distrust to the point that eligible voters won't want to vote.
