Gov. Sanders touts SAVE Act, funding DHS

What she said: "​​I couldn't possibly understand why the Democrats are fighting against the SAVE Act, why they're fighting against opening up and funding [the Department of Homeland Security]. These are two of the most basic, fundamental responsibilities of government, and they're failing," she said on Fox News' "Jesse Watters Primetime."

• "The fact that they're fighting against … keeping our elections fair, safe and secure is so absurd … We need to make sure that it is easy to vote and hard to cheat. This shouldn't be a big debate."

The other side: Opponents of the SAVE Act include the League of Women Voters, the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, and the ACLU.

• The groups broadly note that laws already exist to govern who can legally vote in the U.S. and that the legislation would create additional hurdles for married women who change their names, many minorities, military families and people impacted by natural disasters.

Zoom in: "I'm proud of the fact that Arkansas is number one for having the safest, strongest, fairest elections," Sanders told Watters.
