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.

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.
