What we found

Supports. The Hill reports Murkowski became the first Senate Republican to speak out against the House GOP-drafted SAVE Act, stating 'Once again, I do not support these efforts.'[3][4]

Supports. Murkowski's official Senate press release states she 'cannot support the so-called SAVE Act as it's written' due to barriers for rural and Alaska Native voters.[2]

Supports. Reuters describes Murkowski as a Republican who opposes the SAVE America Act, citing her op-ed saying the bill 'would disenfranchise many Alaskans.'[1]

Context. Murkowski's opposition is specific to the bill as written; she has said she supports voter ID in principle, which is a nuance rather than a contradiction of the claim.[2][5]
