House Passes SAVE Act, Democrats Freak

Well, Democrats have been freaking for a couple weeks, but, now that it is passed we get

????House Republicans just passed a bill that would disenfranchise 70 million married American women.

Under the SAVE Act, women who took their spouse’s last name and don’t have an updated passport or birth certificate would be turned away at the polls.

Cray cray, and she doesn’t even know what a real woman is

House passes bill requiring proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections

The House passed a bill Thursday that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections in an effort to codify one of President Donald Trump’s executive actions from his second term.

Lawmakers approved the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act in a 220-208 vote, with four Democrats — Reps. Ed Case of Hawaii; Henry Cuellar of Texas; Jared Golden of Maine; and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez of Washington state — joining every Republican present in support of the measure.

The legislation, sponsored by Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, would amend the National Voter Registration Act so that states would be required to obtain proof of citizenship in person from people who are registering to vote.

It would also require states to establish a program to remove undocumented immigrants from existing voter rolls and would allow American citizens to sue election officials that don’t follow proof of citizenship requirements.

But, can it get through the 60 vote threshold in the Senate? Of course we get headlines like

• Four Democrats Pass Bill Making It Harder for Married Women to Vote
• SAVE Act: House Passes GOP Voting Bill That Could Disenfranchise Millions
• LDF Denounces House Passage of SAVE Act, Urges Senate to Reject Bill that Will Disenfranchise Millions of Americans

All sorts of fearmongering. I’ve also seen them throw around 21 million being affected….possibly, but, they’d all be illegals. This AP article provides actual information, though, the original headline certainly fearmongered on the women part

What documents would be required to register?
The SAVE Act compels states to reject any voter registration application in which the applicant has not presented “documentary proof of United States citizenship.”

Among the acceptable documents for demonstrating proof of citizenship are:

• — A REAL ID-compliant driver’s license that “indicates the applicant is a citizen.”
• — A valid U.S. passport.
• — A military ID card with a military record of service that lists the applicant’s birthplace as in the U.S.
• — A valid government-issued photo ID that shows the applicant’s birthplace was in the U.S.
• — A valid government-issued photo ID presented with a document such as a certified birth certificate that shows the birthplace was in the U.S.

Probably 99.9% of American citizens already have these. Most illegals do not. Of course, Democrats think that women, and minorities, are too stupid to be able to get an ID, going through the minor hoops necessary to for the name change. Besides, most already are registered

“This has no impact on individuals that are currently registered to vote,” said Rep. Bryan Steil, a Wisconsin Republican who has been advocating for the bill.

Most Americans are too smart for these Democrat shenanigans these days.
