The House passed the Trump-backed SAVE America Act in a 218–213 vote. The bill would require proof of citizenship to register and photo ID to vote, including for mail-in ballots. The bill now heads to the Senate, where it faces slim chances due to opposition and the 60-vote filibuster threshold.
But the legislation still has no clear path forward in the Senate, where Republicans privately acknowledge there is not enough GOP support to skirt a Democratic filibuster as Trump is demanding, reported Politico.
One Democrat, Henry Cuellar of Texas, joined Republicans in passing the bill.
The ACLU didn't like the development one bit:
“The SAVE America Act is another thinly veiled attempt to interfere with our elections,” said Xavier Persad, senior policy counsel for ACLU’s National Political Advocacy Department. “There is no evidence of widespread voter fraud that justifies imposing burdensome show-your-papers requirements on every eligible voter. Laws like this have historically resulted in many eligible citizens being delayed or denied access to the ballot due to paperwork issues, database mismatches, or bureaucratic error. What we are seeing from elected officials: seizing sensitive voter data, calls to ‘nationalize’ voting, using violent federal agent presence as a bargaining chip — none of this is normal and we must protect our voices and our ability to hold these officials accountable. These attacks on the freedom to vote and local election administration are occurring while federal immigration agents continue to brutalize our communities, kidnap our neighbors, and violate constitutional protections that are foundational to our democracy, including the right to protest and freedom of the press. The SAVE America Act and similar efforts are attempts to distract from these federal abuses of power while silencing voters who seek to hold this administration accountable at the ballot box. We urge the Senate to reject this bill and all attempts to undermine our elections.”
If there is ANY way to cheat, Demonocrats will. They have been cheating in elections since 1898. It’s in their genes.
