SAVE act

[IronCodePoke]

I hadn't paid close attention to all the details of this bill. I was focused mostly on the requirements to actually cast a vote during the election. Not the registration process. However, this will do away with online registration and maybe any way to easily register to vote.

The bill says someone seeking to register to vote "shall not be registered to vote in an election for federal office unless the applicant presents documentary proof of United States citizenship in person to the office of the appropriate election official" by the registration deadline.

Fact-checking Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on the effects of the SAVE America Act

Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer said the SAVE America Act would require in-person voter registration, “something only 5% of Americans do today." The act would require that, but the rate of in-person registrations is higher than Schumer said.

I have moved several times in my adult life. I can't remember the last time I registered to vote in person. Maybe when I was 18 and the internet wasn't really a thing. This whole bill just f'in stinks to high heaven.

Anyone seen this video?

BREAKING: New leaked video shows Republican Congressman admitting the SAVE Act will stop women from voting!

A secretly recorded video obtained by Call to Activism shows Republican Rep. Chip Roy privately admitting the exact problems the SAVE Act creates for married women, while publicly insisting there are “no barriers at all.”

In the leaked Zoom meeting with the “Election Integrity Network” (founded by Cleta Mitchell, a key 2020 Trump attorney pushing to overturn the election), Roy said:

“The problem we have is we've got some folks out there who are trying to stir the pot on this, you know, allegation that it somehow is a barrier for married women to be able to vote because they've, you know, got to deal with getting IDs with name changes and all those things. Although, frankly, I'm trying not to elevate the issue too much.”

He then told a story about his own chief of staff having to go get a new ID in Virginia, which has adopted the real ID system.

“So she had to go through a bunch of hoops. She's gonna have to go back to the DMV twice because they want the paperwork for it.”

He then immediately contradicted himself in public by claiming the SAVE Act creates “no barriers at all” for married women.

This is a stunning admission: Roy knows the bill forces women (who often change names after marriage) to jump through extra hoops, get new IDs, and make multiple DMV trips, yet he’s actively trying to downplay and hide those problems so the bill can pass.

The SAVE Act isn’t about “election integrity.” It’s a voter suppression bill designed to make it harder for millions of women, people of color, and young voters to cast a ballot, and now we have video proof that even its own Republican sponsors know it.

Fla. special election shakes GOP redistricting plans as Dem's Flip 2 GOP Seats.​

A special election in Florida that saw two legislative seats go from Republican to Democrat has the GOP nervous about pursuing a redistricting of the state’s congressional maps.

Republicans hold a 20-8 edge over Democrats in the state’s congressional delegation though Republicans like Gov. Ron DeSantis think they could pick up as many as five seats if they pursue redistricting, Politico reported.


DeSantis has called a special session of the state legislature in April to move forward with redistricting, though no map has been produced.

But the special elections, which saw a district that includes Mar-a-Lago, where President Donald Trump lives, flip to Democrats have rattled Republicans, Politico reported.

"We keep saying these are kind of one-off things that haven’t gone our way," a Florida House Republican told Politico. "But I’m not seeing any of the one-offs that are going our way."

"To talk as aggressively as some of what we’ve heard, there’s no way to get there without significantly weakening some districts," the representative told Politico.

Rep. Daniel Webster, R-Florida, told Politico redistricting is a "slippery slope."

"I’ve been around enough reapportionments to know it can come back and bite you," he said.

Rep. John Rutherford, R-Fla. said he doesn’t like redistricting in general.


"But if they think they can get another two seats or something, have at it," Rutherford told Politico.

Other Republicans expressed concern that proposing to redistrict so soon before the midterm election is hurting their re-election campaigns.

"Why would you knock on doors if you don’t know if those doors are going to be in your district or not?" Rep. Greg Steube, R-Fla. said.

Several Florida House Republicans have discussed their concerns about the fallout of yet another redistricting push in their state amid concerns that Hispanic voters are turning away from the party, Politico reported.

Trump purged about 75 people charged with safeguarding elections and replaced some with 2020 deniers:​

President Donald Trump’s administration forced out at least 75 career federal officials involved in protecting U.S. elections and replaced nearly a dozen of them with appointees tied to efforts to overturn the 2020 result, according to a sweeping new ProPublica investigation.


The report says the departures have hollowed out long-standing safeguards at the Department of Justice, Department of Homeland Security, and other parts of government ahead of this year’s midterm elections, placing key election-related powers in the hands of Trump loyalists and figures from the 2020 election denial movement.

ProPublica found that nearly all of the officials it identified as having resisted attempts to undo Trump’s 2020 loss are now gone, having resigned, been fired, or reassigned. In their place, the administration has installed roughly two dozen people in roles that could affect elections.

Ten of them, the outlet reported, “actively worked to reverse the 2020 vote,” while others are linked to those efforts or to activist groups central to the movement denying Trump’s defeat.

The investigation describes a far-reaching effort to remake federal election machinery, including the dismantling of election security work inside the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), cuts to Justice Department units that previously reviewed politically sensitive cases, and the installation of new officials who have echoed or promoted false claims about voter fraud.


“Election integrity has always been a top priority for President Trump,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson said in a statement to the outlet. “The President will do everything in his power to defend the safety and security of American elections and to ensure that only American citizens are voting in them.”

Spokespeople for the DOJ and DHS also told ProPublica their departments are working to ensure elections are free and fair, rejecting claims of partisan interference.

But current and former officials quoted throughout the report said the changes have stripped away nonpartisan expertise that proved critical in 2020, when senior figures inside the government pushed back on Trump’s false claims of a stolen election.

ProPublica also reported that some of the new appointees have already been involved in aggressive election-related actions, including efforts to search voter rolls for noncitizens and an FBI raid in Georgia tied to 2020 election materials.
