Trump’s an idiot and a narcissist and has dementia. He doesn’t understand that and is just thinking that if he suppresses enough voters, he’ll win. Anyways, the voter suppression bill isn’t going to pass because it doesn’t have enough support and the GOP isn’t going to risk getting rid of the filibuster.

It’s bad for anyone and everyone, it’s a poll tax, and the mail in part is obviously bull, Trump Mail in voted again this week

I’m honestly confused why Trump seems so gung-ho about eliminating vote by mail, especially when the data shows it benefits Republicans.

The save act is bad for American voters, democracy and an affront to the constitution.

Since elections are supposed to be run by states, why don’t all the GOP states pass a state level law to implement voter ID and eliminate mail-in voting?

This entire bill and the saga around it is a clusterfuck. It’s not passing either way atm. I’ve heard they plan on trying to get some of it through reconciliation later. That plan has a host of issues though.

It’s not bad news because it will selectively enforced… They’ll apply it disproportionally in communities of color and liberal areas within red states. They will let red hats just wander in without ID and then they’ll ask for 5 forms with ICE sitting outside for every Hispanic and african american voter.
Never take anything a Republican does on it’s face. Nothing they do is in good faith. This is to give them an easy way to discriminate because they know blue states will apply the law equally giving them a disproportionate advantage.

I feel like this is going to blow up in their faces. Big cities tend to be bluer than rural red areas, with access to more resources to get necessary forms of ID. My mother, a trump voter, had a hard time tracking down her birth certificate just to get her passport in the last 2 years. She’s still never left the country before despite having it now and the time/means to travel. I hope they know they’ll likely:
– Disenfranchise their own voters
– Galvanize blue voters to turn out heavily this year
– Likely strengthen blue voters in major cities, while removing access to red-likely voters in rural areas that they depend on to win.

Mail-in ballots was the secret sauce for Republicans winning for decades. LOL. Let’s kill it!!! Further, how many MAGA have passports? Good luck!!!

They won’t allow that. They want federal oversight so they can enforce the ID rules only in blue cities and states.

It’s important to Trump short term, like getting loans, bankruptcy, rape, getting investors on a con, child rape, selling beans, tearing down the white house, taking a free jet, bankruptcy, child rape, stealing from child cancer charity, fraud, cons, rape, bankruptcy, paying off prostitutes, settling lawsuits, and child rape.

This article starts with the assumption that the SAVE act is designed to encourage a greater share of Republican votes. It seems to me that the SAVE act is designed more to disenfranchise the vote itself and rely on state legislatures to submit their electoral votes themselves instead of through the will of the people.

Just give it up with this bill already. It’s not going to pass

I gotta wonder what the new excuse would be if they passed it and lost all three sections of power

It’s bad news for everyone and there are a number of valid reasons to oppose it.
I’m not surprised by how disappointing the people who are defending this bill are.

It’s bad news for elections and the fairness of voting opportunities.

What’s wrong with it? For starters, it is built on a stack of lies that Trump has been telling since 2020: that he, not Joe Biden, actually won that year’s election; that there’s massive voter fraud; that every election won by a Democrat is “rigged;” that millions of non-citizens are allowed to vote in every election; and that vote-by-mail is rife with fraud. Countless independent investigations and court challenges have concluded that, no matter what Trump says, not one of those claims is true — not one, not even close.

It’s projection. Every action he takes is a projection.
He votes by mail and commits election fraud, therefore: all voting my mail is fraud.
DancingWithAWhiteHat on
Wouldn’t this be super bad for republican voters? Is it normal in rural areas to have birth certificates and passports on hand?

You don’t understand mail in voting means a paper trail. Once it’s all digital it’s grok election landslides forevermore

>Now, here’s the irony: If passed, the SAVE America Act will not only not solve a problem that doesn’t exist, but every one of its provisions will severely disadvantage Republicans — perhaps even more than it harms Democrats.
TBH I was kinda hoping these morons wouldn’t figure that out.
goddamn_leeteracola on
I also truly don’t get it. If this legislation makes passports the gold standard for identity verification, I have to imagine the split between democrat and Republican passport holders heavily favors Democrats. Also, with what’s going on in the world, I would walk a mile over a broken glass to make sure I voted this midterm. I think they are vastly underestimating the anger of the US populous right now.
