Save act passes the house

The SAVE Act, on its surface, requires proof of citizenship for registering to vote in all federal elections. However, existing law already does that. All federal voter registration forms include a checkbox requiring registrants to positively affirm citizenship. Violating that is punishable and instances of non-citizens voting is exceedingly rare. Instead of solving a real problem, the SAVE Act would have disastrous effects on our work, election official workloads, and eligible voters across the nation.

Checking a box =/= proof of citizenship.

So? How many gun crimes are committed a year by people who cannot legally own or possess a firearm, as but one example of criminals ignoring the law?

Aside from that, how much undetected voter fraud is occurring? How would we know if it was?

MAGA won.
 
Why do you keep posting pictures of violent MAGAts?
As if i couldn't find looting and rioting about a fentanyl addict that held his breath until he died?

Btw go score some fentanyl and see how long you can hold your breath.

You wouldn't believe how many people that suggestion has effectively killed so far.
 
Those are thugs.
Blah, whatever. So what are the d̶e̶m̶o̶c̶r̶a̶t̶s̶ NAMBLAcrats calling for partisan violence just this week?

 
You have to either be a completely blind partisan hack or Tammany Hall itself to suppose there's no problem that desperately needs a solution.Screenshot_20250501-220650-min.png
 
No, that's not. I would start with allowing 16 and 17-year-olds to register to vote, even though they wouldn't be eligible to vote until they turned 18. That's just one of many major issues I have with it and the previous, and similar, For the Voter's Act.

I don't see anything about 16 and 17 years old people voting in that bill.

You're talking about this: https://dailycaller.com/2019/03/06/dem-congresswomen-change-voting-age/

I have no position on it.
 

Trump wants voters to prove citizenship. Arizona tried that and bungled it.​


For 30 years, no one questioned Danny Dobosz’s citizenship when the lifelong Republican cast his ballot.

So when a letter arrived from a local election official last month asking him to send back a copy of his birth certificate to prove he was an American citizen who was eligible to vote, he tossed it in the trash at his home in Yuma, Arizona. Dobosz, an ardent supporter of President Donald Trump who was born in New Mexico, said he had “no real ambition” to verify his legal status to anyone — even if his ability to vote is jeopardized.

“It’s their duty to prove I’m not,” said the 48-year-old owner of a water-softening business.

“I know I’m a citizen. I pay my taxes,” he said. “Obviously we’re citizens — it’s on their end to fix it, not our end.”

If Dobosz and about 200,000 other Arizona voters don’t provide citizenship documentation, they will not get to vote in next year’s race for governor. State officials last year discovered they had failed to keep records confirming whether about 4 percent of the state’s 4.4 million registered voters were citizens, and they’ve been hustling to fix the problem ever since. They have set off on a scramble that has prompted incredulity, hostility and suspicion from longtime voters like Dobosz who are now learning they are among those caught in the state-caused voter registration blunder.

Trump and Republicans, who have claimed without proof that large numbers of noncitizens are illegally casting ballots, are pushing for similar policies nationally. It is already illegal for noncitizens to vote in federal elections, and the glitches with Arizona’s registration system illustrate the risks of enacting policies that may keep eligible voters from participating in the democratic process.

Very good post. Nothing like showing that even Trump fans stand to be disenfranchised by overly restrictive voting laws.
 
I wonder if this would be Unconstitutional.
It states in the Constitution that the states can appoint the representatives to the EC any way they would like, they do NOT even need to have elections if the State legislature decides not to.
Giving the states this power and now telling them they need to do this or that for a Presidential election is IMO crossing that line.
 
Is he a native american or a hippy or something? Most likely just a left coast lie that doesn't even really exist at all. But it's imaginable there are native americans and hippies that have never been identified before. It will be interesting to see what az figures to remedy a couple hundred years of incompetence while serving foreign drug lords.
