FIRST ON FOX: <\/strong>A conservative nonprofit is launching a $5 million nationwide ad blitz pressuring the Senate to pass voter ID legislation as Republicans move to advance parts of the SAVE America Act through Congress in coming months.<\/p>\n

Restoration of America (ROA) told Fox News Digital the campaign begins Monday, and includes a $3.1 million national television buy, with a digital push targeting selected swing states.<\/p>\n

The group pointed to polling it says shows 83% of Americans support requiring a photo ID to vote<\/a>, arguing the issue is “overwhelmingly supported by everyday Americans.”<\/p>\n

The effort comes as Senate Republicans<\/a> signal they are prepared to bypass Democrats and move key priorities through reconciliation.<\/p>\n

Sen. Lindsey Graham<\/a>, R-S.C., has said Republicans plan to include elements of the SAVE America Act<\/a> in a broader legislative package later this year, describing it as a “down payment” on the measure.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., has said Republicans are prepared to “go it alone” using reconciliation \u2014 a process that allows them to bypass Democrats \u2014 as lawmakers work under a tight timeline set by President Donald Trump<\/a>, who has pushed for legislation to reach his desk by June 1.<\/p>\n

The group said its campaign is aimed at forcing the Senate to act on voter ID legislation.<\/p>\n

The centerpiece of the effort is a 30-second ad titled “Save America,” which is set to air on national news shows “both conservative and liberal,” according to the group.<\/p>\n

“As Americans, we\u2019re fair and logical,” the ad says. “83% of us favor requiring a photo ID to vote.”<\/p>\n

The ad goes on to argue that voter ID is standard elsewhere.<\/p>\n

“In fact, most of the civilized world requires it, but not us,” the ad says. “We need to be able to trust that only eligible Americans are casting ballots.”<\/p>\n

The spot also takes aim at both parties in Washington<\/a>, not just Democrats, for the stall.<\/p>\n

“Democrats oppose voter ID for no coherent reason. Republicans favor it<\/a>, but haven\u2019t acted. What are they waiting for?” the ad says.<\/p>\n

It closes with a direct call to action: “Call your United States senators and tell them to pass the Save America Act today.”<\/p>\n

Restoration of America founder and CEO Doug Truax said the campaign is meant to restore trust in elections.<\/p>\n

“There\u2019s nothing more important right now than restoring confidence in our elections,” Truax said. “We can\u2019t have a country where people are dubious about the accuracy and fairness of our elections. The Senate needs to do whatever it takes to pass this law.”<\/p>\n

Restoration of America described itself as the umbrella for a network of conservative organizations focused on policy and voter-related issues, including the Voter Reference Foundation.<\/p>\n

The ads go live Monday, coinciding with a congressional recess that will put senators back in their home states, where the campaign is designed to reach them directly.<\/p>\n
