Brilyn Hollyhand pushes SAVE Act on Fox, says ‘put Chick-fil-A in charge’ of election lines'

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: Conservative voice Brilyn Hollyhand is drawing attention online after floating an unconventional and highly viral idea for fixing America’s election system: hand it over to Chick-fil-A.

During a discussion on Newsmax on Tuesday, March 24, Hollyhand stated that the country’s voting process does not suffer from complexity but rather from inefficiency. He believes this issue could be resolved by implementing the operational discipline commonly found in fast-food drive-thrus.

Brilyn Hollyhand jokes, 'let Chick-fil-A manage elections'

Brilyn Hollyhand appeared on Newsmax's 'National Report' where he discussed the SAVE Act and sarcastically implied that elections would be better managed by fast food chains.

“You know what they need to do? Put Chick-fil-A in charge of running the election day lines,” he said, leaning into the comparison.

“They would have to pull in and out of there. Everything would be counted by midnight. It would be the shortest election night coverage you've ever done because you would know the result the night of. What a crazy concept.”

Hollyhand didn’t stop at the Newsmax segment. He later shared the clip on social media, reinforcing his stance with a sharper message about how elections are currently run.

“At this point, our elections would be better off if they were run by Chick-fil-A,” he wrote.

“We'd have same day voting, no paper ballots, and the election results completed by the end of the day.”

In a separate video, Hollyhand expanded his argument using a more personal and relatable analogy: school deadlines.

“It’s as simple as this. If I turn in my math homework late tonight, I’m going to get a zero. Why do we value math homework turn-in dates over election day turn-in dates?” he said.

He continued, “We should make sure that we have trust across the board. When we start blurring the lines about the rules, we blur the lines on trust.”

The comparison was aimed at highlighting what he sees as an inconsistency in how deadlines are enforced, strict in everyday life, but flexible when it comes to elections.

Hollyhand also tied the issue to broader concerns about public confidence, adding, “I spoke at 10 campuses last semester. More young people than ever before do not trust the government. Why is that? Because they can't trust the officials, because they don't know if there was cheating in the race.”

He reiterated that point in his post accompanying the clip: “If I turn my math homework in late, I get a zero. Why do we value math homework turn in dates more than election ballot turn in dates? Ballots shouldn't be accepted after election day. This is common sense.”

SAVE Act and election debate

Hollyhand’s comments come amid ongoing debate over election integrity and proposed reforms like the SAVE Act, which has become a flashpoint in discussions around voter eligibility, ballot verification, and election timelines.

Supporters of such measures argue they are necessary to restore confidence in the system and ensure uniform standards nationwide. Critics, however, warn that overly strict rules could risk disenfranchising legitimate voters.

President Donald Trump, on the other hand, has said he will not move forward with any deal until the Democrats back the SAVE Act.
