This bill isn’t about voter ID. It’s to block millions of Americans from voting by forcing them to update their documents right before the midterms.
Stillwater215 on
It’s not going to pass, but Trump will use its defeat as “evidence” that the midterms were corrupted by “illegals voting.” And he’ll use that narrative to challenge results everywhere when the GOP loses.

Notice how the corporate media frames the headline. Trying to carry the water for the GOP.
Democrats say nothing. “Well, we’ll just hide over in the corner, we don’t want to get anyone upset. Let’s ask our consultants to do a focus group!”

John Thune has repeatedly told this orange toddler that they don’t have the votes in the senate to break through the filibuster. The GOP at least their more moderate leadership, are well aware that they are handing towards one of the most lopsided midterm defeats in recent years. They want to be seen as actually doing something about affordability and the oil crisis and yet Trump has showcased a complete and utter disinterest in any of that. This is why you don’t center your party identity around one dude.

Why does the media write articles with such neutral, cowardly headlines? “Trump raises eyebrows as he kills group of orphans with an incinerator after using the head of puppy as baseball.”

It’s not a Voter ID Bill – it’s a Jim Crow Poll Tax meant to keep women and minorities from being able to Vote.
Anyone who’s changed their name for any reason, or who hasn’t but does not have access to their original Birth Certificate, will be forced to shell out $130 for a passport.
Of course, this Voter Suppression Law will 100% be selectively enforced, since the child rapist knows his party is cooked in a free and fair election.

The republican party is unable to govern, guilty of not doing oversight on the obvious corruption going on in this administration.
Rubber stamping all the policies that have devastated our country
Allowing international terrorism
And the best thing you could come up with is a bill that makes it harder to vote in a election year, that in itself is corrupt!
Never has been more obvious republicans can’t govern

Try to look up “percentage of Americans that support the Save Act”. I have tried multiple ways of entering it in different ways.

Passport price for first time applicants: $165.
Needed docs:
-Valid id (DL or equivalent) (photocopy),
-Birth certificate ,
-Photo ,
-Social security number.
$165 is groceries, gas, phone bill, whatever needed to stay alive. Some folks are absolutely not going to be able to afford it.
On top of that, most people don’t have a home printer, and even fewer will have one that scans/copies, so it will be $ to FedEx , UPS, or some other store to get the copies you need. This is a poll tax under a different facade, masquerading as a way to prevent illegal voting…which rarely happens.
(Look it up. The number of “fake voters” is like a millionaire finding some nickels in their couch cushions: unimportant at best.)

This is rather stupid. When Texas passed Paul Weyrich’s ALEC written “exact match” requirement legislation in 2011, which required Tx DL already, they had to stop enforcing it because too many of their voters got caught, including Abbott.
Of course they’d already made it more difficult for poor people to get driver’s licenses, closed DPS locations, no mail options for new people, difficult for many to get birth certificates.

He is trying to steal the country for himself. Why would let him do that? It’s not HIS fucking country, it’s all of ours. He’s doing all of this because he knows what he did and doesn’t want us to find out.

It’s not a voter ID bill. It’s a voter disenfranchisement bill.
The SAVE Act would require all 50 states to send their full voter rolls, SSNs and all, to the Department of Homeland Security on an ongoing basis to be routinely checked. The bill also requires frequent voter purging and eliminates the 90-day protection of voter rolls for upcoming elections.
Under the terms of the SAVE Act, the Trump administration could disenfranchise millions of Americans the day of an election and nobody could stop them.

If they really believed this bill was necessary, and not simply a ploy to steal the mid terms, they’d offer to postpone implementation until the next election. There is no chance whatsoever that this can be fairly implemented in 7 months allowing voters to access the documents they’d need.
