Democrats are once again choosing to take the losing side of an 80/20 issue, voting against the SAVE Act.
The Gateway Pundit reported:
The House of Representatives is scheduled to vote on the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act this morning.
The bill, championed by Republicans who want honest elections, will mandate documentary proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections. Currently, one does not need to provide proof of citizenship, such as a driver’s license or a passport, to vote in races for President, the House, and the Senate.
Under the proposed law, states would be barred from processing voter registration applications unless applicants present “documentary proof” of citizenship, such as a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license, a U.S. passport, or a certified birth certificate paired with a government-issued photo ID.
The bill doesn’t stop there. It mandates states to actively purge noncitizens from voter rolls, leveraging federal databases like the Department of Homeland Security’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system and the Social Security Administration’s verification tools. States would also be required to set up programs within 30 days of enactment to root out ineligible voters.
The SAVE Act also takes aim at federal agencies, requiring them to share citizenship data with state election officials within 24 hours of a request—no fees allowed.
Any election official caught registering non-citizens could face criminal penalties, including federal charges. The Department of Homeland Security would even be tasked with investigating and potentially deporting any noncitizen caught unlawfully registered.
Opposing this is clearly indefensible. Despite that, Democrats are sticking to their guns.
NBC reported:
Election officials, voting rights advocates and Democrats have warned that the SAVE Act could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters who don’t have easy access to identification documents.
“My Republican colleagues crafted and passed one of the most damaging voter suppression bills in modern history. There’s no doubt that women, military members, and people of color will be disproportionately impacted,” Rep. Joe Morelle, D-N.Y., the ranking member on the House Administration Committee, said in a statement. “The fight to stop this bill — to protect Americans’ sacred right to vote — is not over. I will do everything in my power to ensure every eligible American has access to the ballot box.”
They truly must believe that women, minorities, and service members are just too stupid to get an ID.
